Be Careful What You Wish For

Be careful what you wish for

Feels like a cyclone closing in on me
Floats like a butterfly, stings like a goddamn bee
Who am I if I don't have this dream?
Was it a lie when they said that they don't come for free?

So, do I have to choose?
Tell me, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
Every single breakthrough feels like it's lose-lose
I don't have a damn clue, tell me, what would you do?

Never meet your heroes
Never fully close an open door
Beware of all the scarecrows
Be careful what you wish for

What's wrong with wanting to have it all?
I've come to far to watch this fall
This was not how it was meant to feel
Nothing worse than a dream that becomes real

I want it all
Now look, there's a price I can't ignore
I want it all
No, be careful what you wish for

Do or die, but it shouldn't have to be
There was a time when I don't think I would agree
But the lightbulb hanging over me
Gave me a sign like a goddamn epiphany

So, what am I to do?
Fall down on my sword, waiting to be rescued
Or I could be grateful for the heaven they moved
Making sure I don't know, trying to make it come true

Never meet your heroes
Never fully close an open door
Beware of all the scarecrows
Be careful what you wish for

What's wrong with wanting to have it all?
I've come to far to watch this fall
This was not how it was meant to feel
Nothing worse than a dream that becomes real

I want it all
Now look, there's a price I can't ignore
I want it all
No, be careful what you wish for

Never meet your heroes
Never fully close an open door
Beware of all the scarecrows
Be careful what you wish for

What's wrong with wanting to have it all?
I've come to far to watch this fall
This was not how it was meant to feel
Nothing worse than a dream that becomes real

I want it all
Now look, there's a price I can't ignore
I want it all
No, be careful what you wish for

Never meet your heroes
Never fully close an open door
Beware of all the scarecrows
Be careful what you wish for
