I Don't Care
Dark clouds and humid air
A look of I-don’t-care
You call and call and call
But I don’t care at all
Yet you leave me breathless
Oh, love, I’m restless
And I can’t wait no more
Just go and close the door
I think I’m old enough to know
That love’s a fickle game
But you think I’ve still got to grow
You are the one to blame
I’ll learn by myself to let go
And carry all this shame
Thin shoulders and peeking bones
Cracked skulls and snake tattoos
You can leave me all alone
I’ll sport my care-free attitude
High tide and amber moon
Pink stars and electric guitar
You leave me scars and wounds
I’ll heal them in this crowded bar
I know I’m old enough to know
When love’s a done deal
Though you think I’ve still got to grow
I’ll have my cake and meal
Watching you fade and go
I’ve learned to never feel
When the day is over
Like the moon you’ll fade away
And over my shoulder
I’ll see your god-like face
Streaked with lovelorn tears
Cause I’ve learned to let go of fear
Now you know that I do know
Love’s a thing no one can understand
There’s not much left for me to grow
Love’s a game, chartless and unplanned
I see you leave and watch you go
Raising your flag on your loveless land
