I've been trying to make sense
 I've been shouting under my breath
 How's in the opposite of my interest?
 We sold me out, a massive knock off the chair

 Your lust is a lie but [bad word] as no surprise
 Time after time, it goes right past the line
 I do my best to, to make amends with you
 But I just can't see the end, oh

 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless and you're defenseless

 And isn't it funny how
 Those black clouds follow you around?
 It's Karma smiling down
 Just let me know when it's in town

 You act like the world owes you a favor
 You want it all but you don't like the taste, oh
 You've been throwing bricks at my window
 Like there's no better way to say, "Hello"
 Hello

 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless and you're defenseless

 The best you never had
 The best you never had
 The best you never had
 The best you never had

 I'm the devil on your shoulder, I'm the conscious in your mind
 I'm the feeling that you, you cannot hide
 I'm the devil on your shoulder telling you that love is blind
 It's okay when, it's hiding in disguise

 Your loose lips let, let words slide
 You spend too much time talking about my life
 Stories you will spin just for a power trip
 It's safe to say that I am not into it

 In the picture you were not, someone's in your spot
 This is the result of people moving on
 Good luck with killing time, you won't be killing mine
 I'll do my best to always be on your mind, your mind

 I never once said I didn't mean this
 I can't wait to see how this one gets out
 You are the first to question my achievements
 But that's all right, my dreams I've been living

 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless with a capital R
 Don't hold your breath, I'm not losing sleep over you
 I'm Mr. Reckless and you're defenseless

 The best you never had
 The best you never had
 The best you never had
 The best you never had
