Careless Love (After Chopin's "Étude Op. 10, No. 3")

Why do we love so carelessly

A broken heart can never feel the same

Why do we make everything so hollow, and then borrow

Someone's love, selfishly

Why do we take the easy way

No looking back, you never see the pain

Why do we hurt, people who we care for, and would bear for

If we thought, with understanding and with caring in our hearts

If we could see, if only we could see

All the love we lost - carelessly

Why do we take and not return

No going back, you never meet again

Why do we think, always of our selfish need and go with greed

When if we knew with certainty and caring in our hearts

If we could see, if only we could see, all the love we lost

All the love we lost - carelessly
