I Don't Care // 5-20-2000

I know someone cares
But ya know what?
I don't care

If the neighbor could fly
And the world was a better place
It wouldn't mean anything to me

I simply don't care
I don't care that you love me
I don't care that I love you

I don't care that life has meaning
I don't care if I die tomorrow
I don't care if I don't die today

So why do you look at me strangely
I'm a rollercoaster ride
Got the ups and downs, coming baby

So why do you care?
Why do you care if I'm sad?
Or even if I'm sane?

I don't care that my brain is mush
I don't care that I'm sinking deep
I don't care that I'm already crazy

It's just me
So why should you care about me?
You say it's because you do

And all I have to say is go ahead
You'll be sorry in the end
That's all I have to say

Because when it's all over
Even if I love you
And even if you love me

You know I'll be crazy like a coot
And my mouth will be foaming
And you won't be there anymore

So why try to work something out
That's always meant to fail?
Because you care?

Ha! (if only that were true)
It's not enough (love, that is)
Obviously! (if you only knew)
