Be Careful What You Wish For Lyrics by Memphis May Fire

Between the Lies

2010

Raise your glass to everything you've accomplished on your own
I promise it won't mean a thing tomorrow
We're all just headed straight for the ocean floor
On a ship without any captain aboard
This time you can't save yourself
We're all just wasting time
Standing still waiting for something to happen
But i think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen
We have no idea what we're capable of (2x)
If only we would live in fear
Of knowing our own flesh and blood
Does not belong to us
We see everything a little different than before
Lose your pride
We're all just wasting time
Standing still waiting for something to happen
But i think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen
What you want is never what you need
Its never what you need
Be careful what you wish for
Lose your pride, if it's what you come back to
Lose your pride, realize this was never about you
This time you can't save yourself
We're all just wasting time
Standing still waiting for something to happen
But i think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen!
