[Intro]
Whispers in the wind, secrets of the night
Love lost in shadow, slipping out of sight
Oh, careless love, why did you fade?
Left me standing here, caught in the shade
[Verse 1]
Walking through the memories, echoes of your name
Fading like a photograph, flickering in the flame
Heart so heavy, yet I try to move along
But your ghost lingers in my soul, so long
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I was blindsided, blind to the cold
Now I see the story that love never told
Careless love, I gave too much, too free
Now I'm haunted by what used to be
[Chorus]
Careless love, you slipped right through
Leaving nothing but a scar or two
But I won’t cry, I’ll rise above
From the ashes, I’ll find my love
[Bridge]
Butterflies on my shoulder, whisperin’ truths
The beauty of pain, in the aftermath of youth
Butterflies fly free, in the sky so wide
Learning to let go, with every tear I cried
[Outro]
Careless love, now just a song
A faded echo, where I belong
But I’ll heal, I’ll learn to forgive
And breathe again, to truly live
