[Verse 1]
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands that broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through

[Verse 2]
I brought you joy and, dear, I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change, someday you'll know the sorrow of
Careless hands that can't hold on to love

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
I brought you joy and, dear, I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change, someday you'll know the sorrow of
Careless hands that can't hold on to love

[Outro]
Careless hands that can't hold on to love
