[Verse 1]
I read it over and over, I can't make out any names
I fall down beside myself, I hate this opioid game
I stand up next to my mother, she feels exactly the same
All the kids don't know much these days, reputation's a game

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the first time I realised was the last time I cared
It feels like everybody's watching to see what I would do next
I'm not over this feeling and I'm not even dead
I'm just sick of your sermons, well, they fuck with my head

[Chorus]
Well, I don't care, care, well, care, oh, care anymore
Every time I get a little bit closer, I cave
I don't know if it's alright with you
But I will be just fine on my own
Well, I don't care, well, care anymore
Every time I get a little bit closer, I cave
I don't know if it's alright with you
But I will be just fine on my own

[Verse 2]
Standing shoulder to shoulder, young girls in skirts, boys in ties
How am I supposed to love a thing I'm taught to despise?
I stand up next to my mother, she's got tears in both her eyes
Well, that man is not a messenger, he just talks, he talks lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, the first time I realised was the last time I cared
It feels like everybody's watching to see what I would do next
I'm not over this feeling and I'm not even dead
I'm just sick of your sermons, well, they fuck with my head

[Chorus]
Well, I don't care, care, well, care, oh, care anymore
Every time I get a little bit closer, I cave
I don't know if it's alright with you
But I will be just fine on my own
And I don't care, well, care anymore
Every time I get a little bit closer, I cave
I don't know if it's alright with you
But I will be just fine on my own
