I had somebody, somebody who loved me

Someone so good to me

You were my angel, you were my heaven

But I was too blind to see

I let you slip away, I guess I never knew

I had the world with you

I'd be there, still be there in your arms

R: If not for my Careless Heart

You'd still be loving me

If not for my Careless Heart

You'd still be mine

I wouldn't have this hurt inside

I wouldn't have these tears to cry

If not for my Careless Heart

If not for my Careless Heart

I had my chances

I took advantage

I took it all too far

So now you're gone and I'm all alone

Alone with my lonely heart

I let it fall apart, I didn't care enough

I lost your precious love

You'd be here, still be here in my arms

R: If not for my Careless Heart...

*: I'd be loving you, I'd be holding you

I'd be loving you, if not for my

Careless Heart

Instrumental

I wouldn't have this hurt inside

I wouldn't have these tears to cry

R: If not for my Careless Heart...
