Bill Beare - Careful

What would you do if you were looking at you through my eyes?
What would I see if I was looking back at me? What would I realize?

Fumbling through your memories, ending up in tears
Looking for your secret lovers
All that I uncover
Were the many times you suffered at my hands throughout the years
Careful what you're searching for

Was it better when black was then
Just a darker shade of blue?
When some doors were still open
When I thought that you were joking
And all the words were spoken in a code that we both knew
I had no idea; had you?

God given choice, you're living 'cos
You wear your heart upon your sleeve
The winners take you in your sleep
The secrets you can't keep pull you undone
Yeah, you're a classic case of honesty
Laid so bare for all to see
On display there in front of me. 'You're an easy target, son'
The war's already won

Why not be like those when the pressures grows who play the game that you so fear
Hold the cards a little closer to your chest
Make it a little harder, show a little less
Open-hearted true confessions make it all too clear

And not believe the heart upon your sleeve is a badge of something more
Where what is done comes from what is said
Where what you see is what you get
Where trust in truth can only let you down and let you go
Careful what you're fighting for

What would you do if you were looking at you through my eyes?
What would I see if I was looking back at me? What would I realize?
Careful what you're wishing for
