When I Didn't Care

Every time I turn around
It's the same old thing I see
And if I look too far ahead
There's a past in front of me
People saying don't do that
Don't start your running
People saying if I turn my back
I won't get anywhere
Every moment that I stand in line
(With) my heart's yearning
I find myself thinking 'bout the way it was
When I didn't care

If you come into this world alone
That's the way that you go back out
When I met you I was on my own
And you were something I could dream about
Ain't a whole lot of dreams come true
And I'm feeling lucky
We made a whole other set of rules
And I broke my share
In the middle of a storm with you
Count down to lightning's
When I find myself thinking
'Bout the way it was
When you didn't care

If I wore my clothes real tight
If I stayed up and out all night
Nothing so wrong it didn't turn out right
'Cause you didn't care
A smart woman gotta plan for rain
Find the hurt and kiss away the pain
You can leave it there if you don't care

Every time I turn around it's the
Same old thing I see
And if I look too far ahead there's
A past in front of me
At the end of a long embrace
Two lover's kissing
At the start of a new romance
No stopping there

Later on through the test of time
You hope nothing's missing missing
Or you find yourself thinking
'Bout the way it was
Thinking 'bout the way it was
Thinking 'bout the way it was
When you didn't care
Was a time, was a time
When I didn't care
