[Verse 1] One song Changed your name to a punchline Three chords Turned your tour into landmines Hook on fire But the fire hit the wrong side You climbed fast Then the joke spread worldwide [Chorus] That was the hit that ruined you Played on every station like a bad excuse Everybody laughing at the song you wrote Dancing on the grave of every higher hope That was the hit that ruined you Catchy little curse you couldn’t live through Every time it plays It’s a warning too Careful what you wish for It might sing you [Verse 2] Cheap suit On a late-night sofa Fake cheer As they pull up the old stuff Crowd screams But it’s all for the wrong part They know Every word of your broken heart [Chorus] That was the hit that ruined you Played on every station like a bad excuse Everybody laughing at the song you wrote Dancing on the grave of every higher hope That was the hit that ruined you Catchy little curse you couldn’t live through Every time it plays It’s a warning too Careful what you wish for (It might sing you) [Bridge] You wanted one anthem Got life in a loop You gave them your diary They turned it to a cruel cartoon Would you press delete On the moment it broke? Or keep the wreckage As the price of the joke? [Chorus] That was the hit that ruined you Played on every station like a bad excuse Everybody laughing at the song you wrote Dancing on the grave of every higher hope That was the hit that ruined you Catchy little curse you couldn’t live through Every time it plays It’s a warning too Careful what you wish for Careful what you sing for It might haunt you
