I Care

I CARE

Why, is it so hard to say goodbye
When you know the timing's right
Why, is it so hard to come around
And why does it feel this wrong

"Whys" always hold me back
"Whys" always pull me down
"Whys" are never, worth a dime
I don't pretend to never lie
I can pretend that all is fine
And get away without a sign

But I care, oh yes I care
I care, but I'm scared
So don't you dare, now, don't you dare say you know me You don't know, you don't know a thing about me
I don't myself after 18 years, so
How could you get inside of my head

I've left you stuck on the outside
No I never wanted to let you in
I thought you were comfortable enough to try
But you made me feel like I've sinned

I did pretend I was okay,
Maybe hoping for that one day
When You'll see, when you'll see right through me
You get tired of pretending, keep holding the fire in
You know, it's frustrating

But I cared, oh yes I cared
I cared, but I was scared
So don't you dare, now,
Don't you dare say you know me
No, you don't know a thing about me

Questions unanswered
Scared of the unknown
For reasons absurd
Heart strong as a stone
Yes I'm needy, but I'm caring

And baby I cared, oh yes baby I cared
I cared, but I was scared
So now don't you dare, don't you dare say you knew me Cause you didn't know, and you stilly don't know a thing about me

So you threw me on the floor
Acted like you knew me no more,
And I knew you heart was sore,
And yes I cared
