Reckless (Alternative Mix)

I've been trying to make sense
I've been shouting under my breath
How's any of this in my interest?
You sold me out, I must have not got the check
Your lust is a lie, but it comes as no surprise
Time after time, it goes right past the line
I do my best to, to make amends with you
But I just can't see the end, oh

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

And isn't it funny how
Those black clouds follow you around?
It's karma smiling down
Just let me know when it's in town
You 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
Hello

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had

I'm the devil on your shoulder, I'm the conscious in your mind
I'm the feeling that you, you cannot hide
I'm the devil on your shoulder, telling you that love is blind
It's okay when it's hiding in disguise
Your loose lips let, let a word slide
You spend too much time talking about my life
Stories you will spin just for a power trip
It's safe to say that I am not into it

In the picture, you are not
Someone is in your spot
This is the result of people moving on
Good luck with killing time
You won't be killing mine
I'll do my best to always be on your mind
Your mind

I never once said I didn't mean this
I can't wait to see how this one pans out
You are the first to question my achievements
But that's alright, my dreams, I believe in

Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
I'm Mr. Reckless, and you're defenseless

The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
The best you never had
