Solicitude

Don't tell me I don't care!
You weren't there...
You weren't there...

Quit telling me he did the same things!
Look at him now...
Just look at him now...

Quit Complaining and being bitter!
Look at this life and all you've been given.
You've gotten a second chance so take it....
Quite trying to break this....

Don't tell me I'm just like him when he was my age!
Don't tell me he didn't care!
He was there...
He was always there....

Look at him now... He's twice the man you are....
And look where he's at... starting new, with a baby
of his own and a love so very true.

Don't tell me I don't care!!!
When I try too damn hard to show everyone.
I try too damn hard to let it be known I care!!

I know you worry,
trust me I understand...
But don't tell me I don't care...
because now you're making me mad...

Don't tell me I'm like him...
But if i even were, then I hope I end up in the same place one day
with love....
True Love.

Don't say that we never cared...
I get so tired of trying to show you...
So I guess the real question is...

Why Do I Care?....
Why Do I Care?....
