You Don't Care
The Dells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you keep it real with me
I swear I try, everyday I try
I try to do it right
But you keep playing with me
Hate feeling like you can't trust me
Hate feeling like you don't care
Hate feeling like I don't know
If our love is going anywhere
I don't wanna question you,
Just as much as you don't wanna hurt me
But I can't fight this feeling
Every time it feels like you don't know me
When we start to fight, and we're about to fall apart
I wanna rewind the past, and go back to the start
You wouldn't know what I've been through
So what you don't know won't hurt you
Just wanted you to understand
I know my past can get complicated
Hate feeling like you can't trust me
Hate feeling like you don't care
Hate feeling like I don't know
If our love is going anywhere
I don't wanna question you,
Just as much as you don't wanna hurt me
But I can't fight this feeling
Every time it feels like you don't know me

cnd I said why, why, why
I'm repeatedly asking why you behave this way
Can't you keep it real with me
Can't you be honest and genuine with me
I swear I try, everyday I try
I promise I make an effort every single day
I try to do it right
I strive to do things correctly
But you keep playing with me
But you continue to toy with my emotions
Hate feeling like you can't trust me
I despise the feeling of you doubting my trustworthiness

But I can't fight this feeling
But I can't resist this emotion
Every time it feels like you don't know me
Whenever it seems like you lack understanding of who I am
When we start to fight, and we're about to fall apart
When our arguments begin and our relationship is on the verge of breaking
I wanna rewind the past, and go back to the start
I wish to go back in time and restart our relationship
You wouldn't know what I've been through
You wouldn't comprehend the experiences I've endured
So what you don't know won't hurt you
Therefore, what you're unaware of won't harm you
Just wanted you to understand
I merely wanted you to comprehend
I know my past can get complicated
I am aware that my history can become intricate
