I don't care
I don't care
I will not care
For I've learned my lesson
I will not bow like a lowly peasant
I will not dip my fingers in boric acid hoping I can save you from the burning ashes
Just so you can walk away
Unscathed, and do it again
Then show no love for me
I want you to be happy
But at my expense
Is this what you call happiness
For shame
And shame once more
That's why I do not care anymore
I don't dive in rivers deep
To break my hands and feet
Have my lungs collapse and save your life
Just for you to do it again
Im no hero
I'm human
But you might as well be a villain
Maybe I'm not chosen
For your notice
So I can warm you heart
So it won't remain frozen
I am not going to watch you weep just to pick you up at your feet
To catch you while you fall
And break the bones that support my knees
Just so when I fall
You don't catch me
Or at least put a pillow out
I know burdens can be heavy and make you sink
I'm not evil oh no no please
Look at the scars and the way I bleed
And the tears that have stained my cheeks
I will not love you back
To make my soul a darker black
I'd rather rip out all my hair
And be lonely and at despair
Then to love you anywhere
I don't Care
My broken loving apparatus
