Victoria Tidwell - Carefully Lyrics

Thought I was living just fine
Couldn't remember how to thrive
Thought I was fire, I was light
But I was nothing of the kind
I was alone in a dark room
Dancing my blues away
I didn't know any better
It's been a long time since I've felt this way
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Dreaming of anywhere but here
There must be somewhere I can go
To run away from all my fears
There's nowhere I think of as home
In a prison called my body
Wish that I could escape
But you can't run away from yourself
It just doesn't work that way
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Tell me how to dance with someone new
Show me how to feel something other than blue
Don't want to live like this
Don't want to live life with the lights off
Don't want to settle for okay
Don't want to feel this way forever
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully

Thought I was living just fine
Couldn't remember how to thrive
Thought I was fire, I was light
But I was nothing of the kind
I was alone in a dark room
Dancing my blues away
I didn't know any better
It's been a long time since I've felt this way
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Dreaming of anywhere but here
There must be somewhere I can go
To run away from all my fears
There's nowhere I think of as home
In a prison called my body
Wish that I could escape
But you can't run away from yourself
It just doesn't work that way
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Tell me how to dance with someone new
Show me how to feel something other than blue
Don't want to live like this
Don't want to live life with the lights off
Don't want to settle for okay
Don't want to feel this way forever
Now I don't remember how to dance with anyone but myself
I'm a pretender 'cause sometimes I'd like to be anyone else
I don't want to go back home to the same old boring me
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
Somebody, please tell me how to live life less carefully
