With my heart, you were so careless
Now I just wanna care less
VERSE ONE
My heart was frozen - cold as ice
Until you looked into my eyes
That night
Felt like you saw right through me
And I know that you couldn't tell
Because I hid it very well
Until
The act became the new me
Somewhere along the way, you made me feel loved
Somewhere along the way, you made me feel I was enough
Somewhere along the way, I started to feel
Somewhere along the way, I REALLY LEARNED TO LOVE, FOR REAL
CHORUS
SO WHY?
Why’d you have to break my heart?
Why’d you have to push me so far?
That I
Want to care LESS about you
Why?
Now don't you see you broke yours too?
Cause I was so connected to you.
And now
You are in misery.
Because you miss me.
And I’m sad that I can't help you.
Cause I just wanna care LESS about you
VERSE TWO
And we could have fixed things, but that night
When I was begging you to try
You laughed in my face
All I needed was to hear you say you will
But you acted like losing me was - no big deal
I wonder if you still feel that way?
And that was IT
Your LAST mistake
After so many others that I allowed you to make
I never thought that we would get to ‘goodbye’
But you did the one thing I can't tolerate
Refuse to try
CHORUS
SO WHY?
Why’d you have to break my heart?
Why’d you have to push me so far?
That I
Want to care LESS about you
Why?
Now don't you see you broke yours too?
Cause I was so connected to you.
And now
You are in misery.
Because you miss me.
And I’m sad that I can't help you.
Cause now - I just wanna care LESS about you
BRIDGE
And now - we're through,
But I don't hate you.
Now - we're through,
And I don't even dislike you
Now - we're through
You say love me, & I don't doubt you
But We're – Still - Through
And I just wanna care less about you
I just wanna care less about you
I just wanna care less about you
I JUST WANNA CARE LESS ABOUT
YOU!
Sometimes people and circumstances are sent into our lives to teach us how to LOVE OURSELVES MORE.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING.
Not to brag (though it’s probably going to sound like I’m bragging…) but you know, you’re getting ‘up there’ on the tiers of spiritual / personal evolution, when you are able to relinquish ‘Blame’
I still have moments when I forget this.
But I do my best to remember to keep (eventually!) remembering that it is all happening for my greatest good.
There is a Taoist tale about this concept that is one of my personal favorites (I’ll link it below)
And thankfully, with my chosen path of being a songwriter / ‘pain alchemist’, when things - as they inevitably will in life – go, what most would consider as ‘wrong’ - I can always turn it into a song :)
BTW - I also run a retreat where I teach how to do this. If you’re interested, I’ll link that below too.
(It’s a womens only retreat at this stage, but if any men are interested in this type of work, please reach out and if I have enough interest, I may set something up, or create a custom session for you)
