Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every light inside me's on
Kiss me now until I'm gone
Hold my hips up, take my speech
Guide me where the light don't reach
[Chorus]
But you should know I hate myself
For once believing in someone else
You should know a part of me
Got left behind when four became three
[Verse 2]
Turn the lights out, close my door
Toss the evening on the floor
Show me there's infinity
Hiding in your love for me
[Chorus]
But you should know I hate myself
For once believing in someone else
You should know a part of me
Got left behind when four became three
[Refrain]
Careful what you love
Careful what you love
[Verse 3]
Be my saviour, be my friend
Help me to black out the end
Kiss me on my deepest cuts
Inside I'm screaming out for us
[Chorus]
But you should know I hate myself
I once believed I was someone else
You should know I've burned that dream
No one ever recovers from the hole that leaves
No one ever recovers from the hole that leaves
No one ever recovers from the hole that leaves
[Outro]
So careful what you love
Careful what you love
Be careful loving me
