You Don't Care

I walk in at the right time,
And I leave at the right time.

You’re not invincible anymore.

And I don’t blame them,
I was tame then.
Look at me now.
Do you see yourself in my eyes? Well, I hope not!

And I could sing the blues for the rest of my life!
I was born blue, always been my favorite color!

You’re guilt tripping over your own feet
And I can tell you never tie your shoes
‘Cause the world’s too big for little old me and you!

It’s a painstaking drunken action
It’s a breathtaking sober reaction

You’re not invincible anymore.

Little by little,
Bit by bit,
I think I’m starting to give a shit.

Little by little,
Bit by bit,
I think I finally know what it means to quit.
(I’m done, I’m done, you’re gone
You won’t even see me move on
And then you’ll know what it means to take a hit.
)

I hate you drunk, I love you sober
Hate you drunk and love you sober
Hate you drunk and love you sober
Good god, wake me when it’s over!

And don’t call me
When I’m away
I’m severing every trace of you
I’m getting my way

And don’t ever fucking tell me
That you were ever sorry
You’ve told me I’m pathetic
And I will never worry
About just how you’re doing
And if you’re ever going
To be worthy of a smile
And I think it’ll be a while
Before I see your face again
And you will never be my friend
You’ve blown all of your chances
I fucking hope this is the end.

Let it go, I’m done, let it go, let it go
Let it go, I’m done, let it go, let it go
Let it go, I’m done, let it go, let it go
Let it go, I’m done, let it go, let it go

Painstaking won’t make me better
But who am I to think you would know that?
You don’t care about me!
You don’t care about anything!
You barely even mind yourself!

And I still don’t think you’d understand
If I walked right up and took your hand
And said, “I could be proud of me,
So maybe you’ve still got some dignity,
If you dig deep,
And find something to keep
But I still won’t stick around with you
I can’t, it’s much too hard to do.”

You’ve lost the kid you could control.
And I will tell you I’m better on my own.

I hate you drunk, I love you sober
Hate you drunk and lost you sober!
Hate you drunk and miss you sober
Good god, wake me when it’s over!

I’m letting go
I’m playing pretend
You’ll never hurt me
As long as I call it the end.

And I won’t lose sleep
I’ll be just fine
I may have broken,
But I promise you will never see me bend.

Kind of a loaded poem, but I didn't draw upon personal experiences for this. I wrote it for a character who is very angry at a particular person. XD
