Everclear Lyrics
"Be Careful What You Ask For"

We burn out in the dark
We are invisible stars
We are a question mark
Be careful what you ask for

We're a broken bet
We never had a chance
We want what we don't have
Be careful what you ask for

We will never die
Put your hope in the sky
To burn a perfect light,
Be careful what you ask for

I'm sorry we are living in the car
This isn't what you wanted
When you gave me your heart
I'm sorry I got lazy in need
This isn't what you wanted
When you married me

Life looks better when you waste away the day
Life looks better when you make it all a game
Life looks better when you drink away the pain
Life looks better when you look away

We burn out in the dark
We are invisible stars
We are a question mark
Be careful what you ask for

We're a broken bet
We never had a chance
We want what we don't have
Be careful what you ask for

I know you get mad at me
When your card gets denied
At the market down the street
I know that you wanna leave
Yeah this isn't what you wanted
When you married me

Life looks better when you waste away the day
Life looks better when you make it all a game
Life looks better when you drink away the pain
Life looks better when you look away

We burn out in the dark
We are invisible stars
We are a question mark
Be careful what you ask for

We're a broken bet
We never had a chance
We want what we don't have
Be careful what you ask for

You wanna believe
The world can be perfect
That anyone can be redeemed
The good is always better than bad
That's when it all goes bad

Just when you think
That everything is gonna be alright
That's when it all goes bad
Just when you think
That everything is gonna be alright
That's when it all goes bad

We burn out in the dark
We are invisible stars
We are a question mark
Be careful what you ask for

No dresses around
Be careful what you ask for
This isn't what I asked for
Be careful what you ask for
This isn't what I wanted to see
Be careful what you ask for
This isn't what I asked for
Be careful what you ask for

Life looks better
When you look the other way
Baby, look away
Do yourself a favor
Look the other way
