Caring

What have I been thinking?

It wasn't right, 

This boat is sinking. 

That big-gulp I've been drinking - 

Visions of my past are linking. 

Do I look like I care? 

Ask me if I care...

I'll give you a different answer every night you ask me - 

Take the dare! 

 

Does it do any good to care?

I'll tell you this - 

It hurts to care. 

So if hurting does good, 

The world and me - 

We'd hurt as long and hard as we could

And we'd be chipper.
