Who knew you could be so cruel
To a friend of yours
Setting them down like a tool
You don't use anymore
I've been on the one side where love is free falling
The river flows like a parade
I've been on the other lost in an ocean of plagues
Weeping for what I made
It's easy to be blinded by light
Careful what you wish for
Hiding right there in plain sight
I'm the one you wish for
How can the night be so long is there a coming dawn
I thought my attention was strong and not a pauper's pawn
Love is a ladder you want to climb higher
And treasure each and every wrung
Scan the horizon for the bells in the distance
I hear in your loving tongue
It's easy to be blinded by light
Careful what you wish for
Hiding right there in plain sight
I'm the one you wish for
Your wishes may come true but be so cruel
I confess holding your hand made me a natural man
When you collapse into me there was a wish's plan
It's easy to be blinded by light
Careful what you wish for
Hiding right there in plain sight
I'm the one you wish for
I'm the one you wish for
Careful what you wish for, careful what you wish for
Your wishes may come true but be so cruel
