Don't Care
Golds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'm begging don't ask me where I've been
Lately trying to hide from ya
I don't know how long I can hold it in
What am I supposed to do
It's as cold as it gets but it's just the truth
What am I supposed to do
What am I supposed to do
When I'm hurting me so I don't hurt you
You didn't even ask me to
Maybe I should give you the benefit of the doubt
That you got a thick skin
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I know I know but
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I, I, I don't care
I know,
I'd been giving up all my time
Afraid to say I changed my mind, oh
Tighter the grip, the more I fight
I think you know that it ain't right
Maybe I should give you the benefit of the doubt
That you got a thick skin
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I know I know but
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I, I, I don't care
I've been trying to protect your pride
Eyes betrayin' my thoughts inside
Feels like you could read my mind
No more trying to protect your pride
Ain't no shame in saying goodbye
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I know I know but
I don't care
We don't have to hold on to what's not there
I, I, I don't care
I've been trying to protect your pride
Eyes betrayin' my thoughts inside
Feels like you could read my mind
No more trying to protect your pride
Ain't no shame in saying goodbye
Gold's song "Don't Care" portrays a complex and tumultuous relationship. The singer is grappling with his emotions and is attempting to conceal them from his partner. He is fearful of hurting them by expressing his true feelings, but his pain is becoming unbearable. The opening lines, "I don't wanna lie to you / So I'm begging don't ask me where I've been," establish this sense of conflict within the singer.
Throughout the song, the singer questions what he's supposed to do with his emotions. He is hurting, but doesn't want to hurt his partner. The lyrics, "What am I supposed to do / When I'm hurting me so I don't hurt you / You didn't even ask me to," illustrate this struggle. He's holding back his emotions for the sake of his partner's feelings, though he realizes they haven't even asked him to do so.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more resolute in his decision to end the relationship. The lyric, "Ain't no shame in saying goodbye," is empowering, and the singer is no longer trying to protect his partner's pride. The song ultimately concludes with the lines, "I don't care / We don't have to hold on to what's not there." These lines suggest the singer has come to a place of acceptance and is ready to move on from the relationship.
