Can't help but sit here thinkin' like
What am I supposed to do?
Doing all to prove I've listened
But it doesn't make it through to you
Cos I'm doing everything I can
And I was wrong - I understand
But I can't always be the things you wanna have
Girl you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless too
Yeh you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless, I've been reckless to you
And no - I ain't proud in thinkin' I
Treated you the way I did
But bad times fade out, move forward
And I wanna better everything
You're telling me
I coulda done this, shoulda done that
Don't you think I would've if I knew to
I know that it's hard, but give me the chance to show you good
Cos I'm doing everything I can
And I was wrong - I understand
But I can't always be the things you wanna have
Girl you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless too
Yeh you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless, I've been reckless to you
And I can try to empathise
And see the whole thing through your eyes
But there are some things I can't
Feel the hurt that you do
And I'll be here with you to talk
Til the past don't hurt no more
I need your patience - I can
Only do, the things that I can do
Girl you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless too
Yeh you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless, I've been reckless to you
Girl you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless too
Yeh you don't have to be reckless
Just because I've been reckless, I've been reckless to you
