| You really gave me hell, big talker
|
| Polluted the well
|
| You really spoke your mind, big talker
|
| At least your mind at the time
|
| Now I’m wearing your words, big talker
|
| Like necklaces and rings
|
| Just glad it wasn’t me, big talker
|
| That said all those things
|
| Never before could I picture
|
| Even one foot out the door
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| Say no more
|
| But now that that door has been opened
|
| It can never be closed
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| I can never unknow
|
| I can never unknow
|
| Tried to keep my heart pure, big talker
|
| But it came out stained
|
| Tried to stay in love, big talker
|
| But instead I’m in pain
|
| I learned as a child, big talker
|
| Just shut the whole thing down
|
| That polluted well, big talker
|
| That whole polluted town
|
| And never before could I picture
|
| Even one foot out the door
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| Say no more
|
| But now that that door has been opened
|
| It can never be closed
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| I can never unknow
|
| I can never unknow
|
| No sleep for me, big talker
|
| Just one long migraine
|
| One that sparks and flares, big talker
|
| When I say your name
|
| Where went your love? |
| big talker
|
| Cuz that’s where I go
|
| I’m no longer here, big talker
|
| I’m searching high and low
|
| And never before could I picture
|
| Even one foot out the door
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| Say no more
|
| But now that that door has been opened
|
| It can never be closed
|
| Careless words, careless words
|
| I can never unknow
|
| You can never unknow |
