I say I don't care,
and I continue my days.
I say I don't care—
but I still search for your gaze.

I say "I don't care!"
and smile for my friends,
but the moment I turn—
my heart quietly descends.

I say I don't care,
and try to feel whole,
I say I don't care—
but I remain hopeful.

I say I don't care,
and that it doesn't matter,
I say I don't care—
yet I still set my heart on the platter.

I say I don't care,
but I urge to give you my all,
I say I don't care—
while I helplessly fall.
