CARES OF YESTERDAY

You didn't care when I cried, so I tried and sighed and died
You didn't care when I came, so I screamed and yelled in vain
You didn't care when I begged, even with my broken leg
You didn't care when I sang, so I bottled up the pain

You didn't care when the scale said I wasn't doing well
You didn't care when I'm shakin' and I'm wakin' up in bed
You didn't care when I starved after all the days you carved
You didn't care and now I dread all the dreams that you can shred
With your mouth all full of lead that you're lamin' at my head

And while you're spittin'
And while you're screamin'
And while you're swearin'
It's clear you're meanin'

You don't care when I'm chokin', when I'm lost, when I'm broken
When I'm clutching at the mantle, white knuckles on the token
When I'm praying to our maker saying, Father, please do something
When I'm contemplating all and thinking that there's nothing
You don't care when I've battled all the sadness I can handle
When I'm slippin' down the river, past the rapids with no paddle
When I'm riskin' high and low, like an option with no straddle
When I'm playing touch 'n go, you're screamin', I don't care

You said you cared and understood, but then you never did no good
You said you cared and never fib, but then you're tracin' up his rib
You said you cared, but then you'd go and to my pain you just said no
You said you cared, but then you holler when I said we got no dollar

You said you cared and that you loved me, but all others were above me
Said you cared, but then you fled, and you made fun of my beard
Said you cared, but now you're smellin' like another person's gel 'n
Said you cared, but then you teared us into little tiny pieces
And I'm young but growin' creases, and the drama never ceases
Then you look into my stare, and then you rip out your hair
I see you smilin' through the air, and while I bleed again, you swear

You don't care that I'm chokin', when I'm lost, when I'm broken
When I'm clutching at the mantle, white knuckles on the token
That I'm praying to our Father saying please do something
When I'm contemplating all and thinking that there's nothing
Don't care that I've battled all the sadness I can handle
When I'm slippin' down the river, past the rapids with no paddle
When I'm riskin' high and low, like an option with no straddle
That I'm playing touch 'n go, you're screamin', I don't care, I don't care

And now you care, I got a smile, that its hung around a while
Now you care, I got a girl, that she doesn't need a pill
And now you care, I lost some weight and I won't addict to hate
Now you care to demonstrate, but I still don't wanna date
You care to demonstrate, but I still don't wanna date

Now you care, that I stare when the wind blows back her hair
Now you care, that she wears absolutely nothing there
Now you care, that I wear nothing while she's there
Nothing while she's there, nothing while she's there

So now your loneliness is knockin'
Yeah I guess your loneliness is knockin'
It's your empty life a knockin'
It's your empty life that's knockin', and I'm screaming

I don't care, that you're chokin', that you're lost, that you're broken
That you're clutching at the mantle, white knuckles on the token
That you're praying to our maker saying, Father, please do something
That you're contemplating all and thinking that there's nothing
Don't care that you battle all the sadness you can handle
That you're slippin' down the river, past the rapids with no paddle
That you're riskin' high and low, like an option with no straddle
That you're playing touch 'n go
I'm screaming, I don't care
Screaming, I don't care
Screaming, I don't care
