Don't Care
Ember & Dust Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some folks told me that I can't sing
But who really cares about what those kind of people think?
I do it for my baby, I do it for myself
I don't really care what they think about it though
It doesn't really matter to me

So come and make it better or shut your mouth
So come and write some letters or sing a song

It doesn't really matter if you do not dare
Or talk about the weather, I don't care

They once told me he doesn't like my song
But I do like it, kinda makes me strong
I do it for my baby, I do it for myself
I don't really care what they think about it though
It doesn't really matter to me

So come and make it better or shut your mouth
So come and write some letters or sing a song
It doesn't really matter if you do not dare
Or talk about the weather, I don't care (come on)

I do it for my baby, I do it for myself
I don't really care what they think about it though
It doesn't really matter to me (oh no)

So come and make it better or shut your mouth
So come and write some letters or sing a song
It doesn't really matter if you do not dare
Or talk about the weather, I don't care

I don't care
I don't care
