Caution

[Verse 1]
I coulda had, at least I coulda tried
Maybe it would've lasted
Or maybe it would've died
I coulda loved or coulda lost him
Coulda healed or coulda broke
He could've been the start of everything
Or the end of me, who knows?
The life we coulda lived, we coulda been
Now thanks to you, I'll never know
I'll never know

[Chorus]
Caution
You see a good catch, good plan, good chance
And say, "Why don't we toss it?"
You see a good bet, good man, god damn
Every time I start falling, thinking I found him
You remind me how hard the ground is
Damn you, caution
Damn you, caution

[Verse 2]
You're just tryna protect me
Waving red flags since I was a kid
Kept saying, "Girl, you aren't ready"
I should've thrown you to the wind
'Cause we coulda bought a shit apartment
Just to live out on the coast
Had the world at our fingertips
White sand under our toes
I could almost taste the salty air
Damn, we were so close
Thanks to you, I'll never know

[Chorus]
Caution
You see a good catch, good plan, good chance
And say, "Why don't we toss it?"
You see a good bet, good man, god damn
Every time I start falling, thinking I found him
You remind me how hard the ground is
Damn you, caution
Damn you, caution

[Bridge]
Why you gotta be a pessimist?
The glass is full, you empty it
You wrap my heart in yellow tape
Say, "Girl, go make the best of it"
I know it's for my benefit
I'm known to be more too delicate
I need you but I'm questioning
If you really want the best for me, ah

[Chorus]
Caution
You see a good catch, good plan, good chance
And say, "Why don't we toss it?"
I lost a good bet, good man, god damn
