Careful How You Go

I know you wake up feeling twice as tired
Prepared for the world to thwart your hearts' desires
As you paper over cracks and put out fires
But you're not alone

And whether you're in Tokyo or in Hoboken
I know you've borne the words they should have left unspoken
Day devours night and bruises bleed to broken
But you're not alone

So steal a look through someone else's eyes
I'm sure you'll see some things you recognise

So
Be careful how you go
(Careful how you go)
No one's singing solo so careful how you go

I know that it's hard now to remain untainted
By the demon in the corner your subconscious painted
Hope twitched the curtain back and promptly fainted
But you're not alone

So steal a leaf from someone else's book
You'll find their prints upon the path you took

So
Be careful how you go
(Careful how you go)
No one's singing solo so careful how you go

And if you find it hard
To set your pain aside
Just ask yourself where you were at
The last time somebody else cried

No one's advocating for the ease of kindness
Or the martyrdom of self that may as well be blindness
But cast your net a little wider and you'll find this

You're not alone
(You're not alone)

So steal a moment to be someone new
You'll find that one and one falls short of two

So
Be careful how you go
(Careful how you go)
No one's singing solo so careful how you go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Be careful how you go
