Careless War Lyrics by Tom Gregory

Things I Can’t Say Out Loud

2021

[Verse 1]
I thought you had a halo
I thought you were everythin'
I said, "I follow you where you go"
But I'm tired of givin' in
And now I know what you do
All you ever, ever say, it's not true
I thought you had a halo
I thought you were everythin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights we hide behind, oh, it's hard to find us
Layin' in the fire
Blinded by the highs, beaten by our love

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war
I don't wanna be a foreigner standing by your door
And oh God, I'm shackled by the storm
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I lost sleep on your pillow
Playing games, I'd never win
I said I'd follow you where you go
But I'm tired of givin' in
And now I know what you do
All the lies on lies, they're cruel
I lost sleep on your pillow
Playing games, I'd never win

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights we hide behind, oh, it's hard to find us

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war
I don't wanna be a foreigner standing by your door
And oh God, I'm shackled by the storm
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
(I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war)
(I don't wanna be a foreigner standing by your door)
And oh God, I'm shackled by the storm ('Cause I)

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war
I don't wanna be a foreigner standing by your door
And oh God, I'm shackled by the storm
I don't wanna be a passenger in a careless war

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
(I don't wanna be a)
