[Verse 1]
You don't have to lie
I know exactly where you've been
'Cause you're chewin' off my ear
While you're chewin' on your chin

[Pre-Chorus]
No, we're not on the level, you're just off your face
It's not a state of mind, no, your head's just in a state
I may be on the outside, but you're empty within
It's gettin' kind of old now, I think it's time to pack it in

[Chorus]
Don't call it a party, 'cause it never stops
Now, one is too many, but it's never enough
Don't tell me you're happy, 'cause this isn't love
So be careful what you wish for
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
So be careful what you wish for
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)

[Verse 2]
Who you tryina' to fool?
You know you're in over your head
'Cause you're holdin' onto heaven
But you're hangin' by a thread

[Pre-Chorus]
No, we're not on the level, you're just off your face
It's not a state of mind, no, your head's just in a state
I may be on the outside, but you're empty within
It's gettin' kind of old now, I think it's time to pack it in

[Chorus]
Don't call it a party, 'cause it never stops
Now, one is too many, but it's never enough
Don't tell me you're happy, 'cause this isn't love
So be careful what you wish for
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
So be careful what you wish for
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)

[Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't call it a party, 'cause it never stops
(O-o-o-oh, no) Now, one is too many, but it's never enough
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't tell me you're happy, 'cause this isn't love
(O-o-o-oh, no) So be careful what you wish for, sing it
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh, no)

[Chorus]
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't call it a party, 'cause it never stops
(O-o-o-oh, no) Now, one is too many, but it's never enough
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't tell me you're happy, 'cause this isn't love
(O-o-o-oh, no) So be careful what you wish for
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't call it a party, 'cause it never stops
(O-o-o-oh, no) Now, one is too many, but it's never enough
(O-o-o-o-oh) Don't tell me you're happy, 'cause this isn't love
(O-o-o-oh, no) So be careful what you wish for

[Outro]
So be careful what you wish for
So be careful what you wish for
So be careful what you wish for
So be careful what you wish for

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
