Really Don't Care
Demi Lovato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I shoulda known, maybe I shoulda known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door

Hey!

Said we were done, you met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the punch, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
I guess you shoulda known, I guess you shoulda known
That I would talk, I would talk

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care

I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go

Now if we meet out on the street I wont be running scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air
And make you understand, and make you understand
You had your chance, had your chance

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care

Yeah, listen up
Hey, hey never look back, dumb struck boy, ego attack
Look boy, why you so mad
Second gets in, but shoulda hit that
Hey Demi you picked the wrong lover
Shoulda picked that one is cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh, cause you tryna be a hipster
Kick it to the curb, take a polaroid picture

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh oh oh I really don't care
Oh oh oh I really don't care

Overall Meaning

The song "Really Don't Care" by Demi Lovato is about moving on from an ex who has hurt the singer in the past. The lyrics talk about the back and forth of the relationship between the two, with the ex wanting to play and stay while also wanting to have it all. The singer then confronts the ex for messing with her head and hitting a wall. The ex then rubbed his new relationship in the singer's face, but when his new relationship ends, he comes back to the singer. However, she has moved on and no longer cares about his lies and words.


The chorus talks about how the singer never wants the ex back in her life, even if the stars and moon collide. She wants nothing to do with him and his words and lies. The last verse references someone who tried to be a hipster and take a polaroid picture, which could be interpreted as the singer calling the ex out for trying to be someone he's not.


Overall, the song is about standing up for oneself and not letting an ex's actions and words bring them down.


Line by Line Meaning

You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You are trying to control everything and everyone around you


You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
You were manipulative and abusive in our relationship


Maybe I shoulda known, maybe I shoulda known
Perhaps I should have seen your true intentions earlier


That you would walk, you would walk out the door
That you would eventually leave me


Said we were done, you met someone and rubbed it in my face
You said our relationship was over and then flaunted your new partner in front of me


Cut to the punch, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
Things didn't work out with your new partner and she left you


I guess you shoulda known, I guess you shoulda known
Maybe you should have realized that your actions would have consequences


That I would talk, I would talk
That I would tell others about your behavior


But even if the stars and moon collide
Even in a fantastical scenario where astronomical events occur


I never want you back into my life
I do not want you to be a part of my life again


You can take your words and all your lies
You can keep your false declarations and deceitful acts


Oh oh oh I really don't care
I am indifferent to the impact of your actions on me


I can't believe I ever stayed up writing songs about you
I can't believe I dedicated so much time and energy to you


You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
You are not worthy of my affection or admiration


Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
I do not feel the same way towards you anymore


You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go
You had your opportunity to make things right, but you chose not to


Now if we meet out on the street I wont be running scared
I am not afraid of you anymore


I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air
I will assert my dominance over you


And make you understand, and make you understand
I will ensure that you comprehend the severity of your actions


Yeah, listen up
Pay attention to what I am about to say


Hey, hey never look back, dumb struck boy, ego attack
Do not dwell on the past, you were shocked by my strength and confidence


Look boy, why you so mad
Why do you feel such anger towards me?


Second gets in, but shoulda hit that
You made an error in judgment when you ignored your connection with me


Hey Demi you picked the wrong lover
You made a mistake by choosing the other person over me


Shoulda picked that one is cuter than the other
You should have chosen me because I am more attractive than the other person


I just wanna laugh, cause you tryna be a hipster
Your attempts at being trendy and cool are amusing to me


Kick it to the curb, take a polaroid picture
Get rid of the other person and have a new beginning with me


Oh oh oh I really don't care
I am indifferent to the opinions of others about my decisions and feelings

@@DanielaMihova Rich and famous:
From child star to world wide pop-star. From catholic to satanism. From just a singer to a sell out. From amongst the living to amongst the dead.
There is 1 interesting thing which is always missing; nones never CHRISTIAN.
They are religious, who move from 1 religion to another, but nobody comes out from lies(darkness) and into the truth(light).
The road they always on:
From catholic to satanism
From Jehovah witness to satanism
From Islam to satanism
From Hindu to satanism
From atheism to satanism
From ignorant to satanism

"Really Don't Care"
(feat. Cher Lloyd)

You wanna play, you wanna stay, you wanna have it all
You started messing with my head until I hit a wall
Maybe I should've known, maybe I should've known
That you would walk, you would walk out the door, hey!

Said we were done, then met someone and rubbed it in my face
Cut to the part, she broke your heart, and then she ran away
I guess you should've known, I guess you should've known
That I would talk, I would talk

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh, I really don't care

I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh, I really don't care
Oh, oh, oh, I really don't care

You don't deserve to know the way I used to think about you
Oh no not anymore, oh no not anymore
You had your shot, had your shot, but you let go

Now if we meet out on the street I won't be running scared
I'll walk right up to you and put one finger in the air

[Cher Lloyd]

Hey, hey, never look back,
Dumb struck boy, ego intact
Look boy, why you so mad
Second guessin', but should've hit that
Hey, Demi, you picked the wrong lover
Should've picked that one, he's cuter than the other
I just wanna laugh, 'cause you're tryna be a hipster
Kick him to the curb, take a Polaroid picture

But even if the stars and moon collide
I never want you back into my life
You can take your words and all your lies
Oh, oh, oh, I really don't care
