Careful What You Wish For Lyrics


Bad Omens Careful What You Wish For




[Verse 1]
Only in madness do you find beautiful death
And only in sadness do you feel happy instead

[Pre-Chorus]
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you don't know
The guilt I carried this far all on my own
It's nothing you wanna feel

[Chorus]
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till it's not enough
Don't wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till you've had enough
Don't wait for the world to let go or to give you up

[Verse 2]
The silence is one thing that I'll remember you said
Well, it's better than nothing when nothing's all that you left

[Pre-Chorus]
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you don't know
The guilt I carried this far wasn't my own
It's nothing you wanna feel, so let it go

[Chorus]
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till it's not enough
Don't wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till you've had enough
Don't wait for the world to let go or to give you up

[Bridge]
If you need a place to hang your head, a shoulder's better than a knot
You'd be a better memory alive rather than not
If you need a place to hang your head, a shoulder's better than a knot
You'd be a better memory if no one else forgot
So let it go

[Chorus]
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till it's not enough
Don't wait for the world to let go of the both of us
Don't wait for the dust to settle, don't wait till you've had enough
Don't wait for the world to let go or to give you up

[Outro]
(If you need a place to hang your head, a shoulder's better than a knot)
I'm not giving up
(You'd be a better memory alive rather than not)
So don't you give up
(If you need a place to hang your head, a shoulder's better than a knot)
I'm not giving up
(You'd be a better memory if no one else forgot)
So don't you give up
