Careless

Never was I careless
Tried to do what’s right
Following the guidelines
 a template for my life

Protection from the harmful
Protection from the pain
Still some was inflicted
And knowledge there was gained

Goals for what I’m needing
Goals for what should be
Goals left by the sideline
Goals I can’t foresee

Still I will be careful
Especially with my heart
Feeling out the aggressor
So I don’t fall apart

Always starting slowly
Like a slow, slow dance
You can win me over
I am worth a chance
