Ani Difranco - Careless Words Lyrics






You really gave me hell, big talker
Polluted the well
You really spoke your mind, big talker
At least your mind at the time
Now I'm wearing your words, big talker
Like necklaces and rings
Just glad it wasn't me, big talker
That said all those things

Never before could I picture
Even one foot out the door
Careless words, careless words
Say no more
But now that that door has been opened
It can never be closed
Careless words, careless words
I can never unknow
I can never unknow

Tried to keep my heart pure, big talker
But it came out stained
Tried to stay in love, big talker
But instead I'm in pain
I learned as a child, big talker
Just shut the whole thing down
That polluted well, big talker
That whole polluted town

And never before could I picture
Even one foot out the door
Careless words, careless words
Say no more
But now that that door has been opened
It can never be closed
Careless words, careless words
I can never unknow
I can never unknow

No sleep for me, big talker
Just one long migraine
One that sparks and flares, big talker
When I say your name
Where went your love? big talker
Cuz that's where I go
I'm no longer here, big talker
I'm searching high and low

And never before could I picture
Even one foot out the door
Careless words, careless words
Say no more
But now that that door has been opened
It can never be closed
Careless words, careless words
I can never unknow
You can never unknow

    And this my love is why i had to leave without saying goodbye. I still miss you, everyday... but there is a reason why i played this song for you in the car that day you picked me up from airport. You really gave me hell big talker, polluted the well, you really spoke your mind big talker, at least your mind at the time, now im wearing your words big talker, like necklaces and rings, just glad it wasn't me big talker, that said all those things... Never before could i picture even one foot out the door, careless words, careless words... i can never unknow

    Oh my God these riffs just touch the deepest part of me. I mean the lyrics and the singing are beautiful but the voice of her hands sounds the same as the voice in me without a mouth.
