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
