I Care

I CARE

Why do I take it so hard?
Why does it cut me so deep?
I’d be better off to do just like you
And let it run right off of me

Why can’t I leave this alone?
I worry it like some old bone
That I’ve buried but then dig up again
Like some kind of treasure I own
I should get over this but I don’t

Keep your opinions to yourself
Condescension hurts more than your flattery helps
I wish I could tell you to go to hell
But I keep my mouth shut and just stare
While you rant with your hands in the air
Cause even though I don’t want to I care

When will I learned how to see?
When will I see what you are?
And realize that you are what you do
Just what kind of person you are
I haven’t done so well so far

Keep your opinions to yourself
Condescension hurts more than your flattery helps
I’d like to tell you to go to hell
But I keep my mouth shut and just stare
While you rant with your hands in the air
Cause even though I don’t want to I care
