Careful
Careful is an adult pop song from the perspective of a woman trying to love again after being hurt in the past. She craves love and touch, but remains fearful of bad times consuming her again if she gives her heart away. She wants to be touched softly, but also firmly broken through her fearful barriers.

VERSE 1
I don’t want to plead with you
You’ve come to see me day after day
I don’t want to force you back
I’m afraid to let you stay
I don’t wanna fall for you
I don’t think I’m ready to try
But there’s something special here
Can’t dodge these butterflies
CHORUS
Can you be careful with my hopes
I’ve put such faith in you
The pain that I’ve been through has left me cold
Oh Oh
Can you be careful with my love
I can be so fragile
Will you touch me with the velvet glove
VERSE 2
Can I let my feelings out
Can I keep my horses from running
There’s little I can do to keep them in
I can feel the thunder coming
CHORUS
Can you be careful with my hopes
I’ve put such faith in you
The pain that I’ve been through has left me cold
Oh Oh
Can you be careful with my love
I can be so fragile
Can you touch me with the velvet glove
BRIDGE
I won’t!
Tell you everything
I couldn’t bear if you saw me different
I wish I didn’t feel so shy
That I could open up again
I must!
Take these small steps
I can’t!
Miss another chance
I’m scared!
But I will trust you’ll be patient with me
CHORUS
Can you be careful with my hopes
I’ve put such faith in you
The pain that I’ve been through has left me cold
Oh Oh
Can you be careful with my love
I can be so fragile
Will you touch me with the velvet glove
