Careless

You can say I’m just a girl
Trying to make my way
Don’t know where to go
Forgot to give my name
Dare to look me in the eye
Think you know my mind

Words without a meaning
Songs without a tune
Art without its colors
Is this what I am to you?
Pretending that reality
Is a crooked game
Makeover my entire life
But I’m not an actress
In a stupid, no good play
So now its my turn to say…

You must be out of your mind
Or simply frozen in time
‘Cause otherwise,
you’re just wasting a fight
You know you’re running out
Of spiteful curses
Maybe you’re just tired
Or you’ve finally given up
But you better know by now,
That I’m not you’re slave
Your mother
Or you’re maid

Get up you rodent
Don’t you dare lie down
Faking me out
Playing me afoul
Lucky for me,
I can tell when you’re spouting lies
And I can see
Straight through your goodbyes
You really are a hopeless fool
Stirring up some trouble
Making me see double

Sometimes I wish that you’d cared
Then I remember your horrified stare
Your hidden fears made bare
I should’ve known that a boy like you
Would never have the guts to say,
“I’ve got no problem losing to you
‘Cause I know you’re true.”

I’m glad you’re gone
Now I’m free
Don’t need to play by the rules
I can just be me
I know I’m all those things
You said I could never be
And I’m stronger
Than you could ever believe
