I've been trying to make sense
I've been shouting under my breath
How's any of this in my interest?
When you sold me out
I must've not got the chequeYour lust is a lie but it comes as no surprise
Time after time you go right past the line
I do my best to,
To make amends with you
But I just can't see the endDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless with a capital RDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless with a capital RDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless and you're defenselessIsn't it funny how
Those black clouds follow you around?
It's karma smiling down
Just let me know when it's in townYou act like the world owes you a favor
You want it all but you don't like the taste oh
You've been throwing bricks at my window
Like there's no better way to say 'hello'
HelloDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless with a capital RDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless and you're defenselessThe best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never hadI'm the devil on your shoulder
I'm the conscious in your mind
I'm the feeling that you
You cannot hideI'm the devil on your shoulder
Telling you that love is blind
It's ok when it's hiding in disguiseYour loose lips let
Let words slide
You spend too much
Time talking about my lifeStories you will spin
Just for a power trip
It's safe to say that I am not into itIn the picture you are not
Someone else is in your spot
This is the result of people moving onGood luck with killing time
You won't be killing mine
I'll do my best to always be on your mindI never once said I didn't mean this
I can't wait to see how this one pans outYou are the first to question my achievemnets
But that's alright
My dreams I've been livingDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless with a capital RDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless with a capital RDon't hold your breath
I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr Reckless and you're defenselessThe best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
