Oh why do I care, when I know you don't feel the same for me. Why do I care, when I know I'm nothing and you see, I'll wait here, being my pathetic self, and I'll have your back, even though I'm convinced you don't care about me, and I'll wait wondering at night, if we'll ever be OK, if we'll ever be all right

Close my eyes, take a breathe, letting it go, I wish I could just do the same for you. But I have you in the back of my mind and the front of my heart, wondering if your OK, wondering if your in pain. 'Cause I know that even with the pain you caused me, I still care, and I still hope that you'll never go back to that place, but still I ask myself why do I care

Three hours down three to go until the sun rises, and I still wait in vain, for sleep to take me. To let myself relax, to let myself let all the worry go away, why the hell do I care so much, to someone who caused me so much pain. But maybe its not a question at all. Maybe I should be thankful for caring so much. But these sleepless nights don't help me see that.

Oh I know I may still care, even when your gone, when you don't need me. And you throw me away, throw me away like a piece of trash, that you've used again and again. But I don't care about me, about my well being. All I care is that your OK, that you don't need to take it out on your arms, that you don't have that knife to your throat. Please tell me that your OK, and that you care the same as me
