  • We burn out in the dark
    We are invisible stars
    We are a question mark
    Be careful what you ask for

    We are broken bet
    We never had a chance
    We want what we don't have
    Be careful what you ask for

    We will never die
    Put your hope in the sky
    To burn a perfect light,
    Be careful what you ask for

    I'm sorry we are living in the car
    This isn't what you wanted
    When you gave me your heart
    I'm sorry I got lazy in need
    This isn't what you wanted
    When you married me

    Life looks better when you waste the day away
    Life looks better when you make it all again
    Life looks better when you drink away the pain
    Life looks better when you look away

    We burn out in the dark
    We are invisible stars
    We are a question mark
    Be careful what you ask for

    We are broken bet
    We never had a chance
    We want what we don't have
    Be careful what you ask for

    I know you get mad at me
    When your card gets denied
    At the market down the street
    I know that you wanna leave
    Yeah this isn't what you wanted
    When you married me

    Life looks better when you waste the day away
    Life looks better when you make it all again
    Life looks better when you drink away the pain
    Life looks better when you look away

    We burn out in the dark
    We are invisible stars
    We are a question mark
    Be careful what you ask for

    We are broken bet
    We never had a chance
    We want what we don't have
    Be careful what you ask for

    You wanna believe
    The world can be perfect
    That anyone can be redeemed
    The getter's always better than bad
    That's where it all goes bad
    Just when you think
    That everything is gonna be alright
    That's where it all goes bad
    Just when you think
    That everything is gonna be alright
    That's where it all goes bad

    We burn out in the dark
    We are invisible stars
    We are a question mark
    Be careful what you ask for
    No guess who's around
    Be careful what you ask for
    This isn't what I asked for
    Be careful what you ask for
    This isn't what I wanted to see
    Be careful what you ask for
    This isn't what I asked for
    Be careful what you ask for

    Life looks better
    When you look the other way
    Baby look away
    Baby, do yourself a favor
    Look the other way Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
