you speak of love   but you ain't no lover   you were a friend   more like a brother      as the miles pass beneath me   the sounds made so sweetly came to an end   and no man can deny her but now you're a liar   and you've no room left to defend      when i left   i should have known better   of the kind of man that you are   you'd have to get her      and i know you got a lot of pain   that's born inside you   but instead of growing stronger   you let it divide you, oh      how could you be so careless   how could you be so careless      and the waves that are crashing   true lives of passion washing on your shore   yes sir, life has been costing   a true love's been lost   and i can't get back anymore      and i'm sure   that we both still both love her   and it's a shame we both lost her   and in time lost each other      but a trust has been broken   and words have been spoken   but you can mend   and no man can deny her   and as you laid beside her   i hope it felt good my friend      how could you be so careless   how could you be so careless   how could you be so careless with her heart
