Be careful what you wish for

Be careful what you wish for
I wished for love
I didn't know what the fuck to do with it when I got it
so I ran
it chased me down
and it's been riding my back ever since
though I've grown used to the weight

Be careful what you wish for
I wished for a chance with my love
I didn't know what the fuck to do with it when I got it
so I ran there
it fell apart
and it's been haunting me ever since
though I've grown used to the ghosts

Be careful what you wish for
I wished for a oblivion
I didn't know what the fuck to do with it when I got it
so I gave everything I had to school and work
I woke up now
and I'm wondering where my life went
though I've grown used to living again

Be careful what you wish for
I wished for inspiration
I didn't know what the fuck I was doing when I got it
its taking everything I have just to stop typing
I'm tired now
and I'm wondering what I want
becuase I've grown used to living again

Be careful what you wish for
I wished to be able to speak my mind
I don't write. The words write themselves
and what they are saying frightens me
I'm scared now
and I'm wondering what I wish for so desperately
And how much I will be dreading the consequences.
