Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I tell you that it's too late
That the rain will pour on in time
Many times that I ignored you
And it ain't even crossed your mind
If you feel the urge to see me
Well you'd best pretend you're blind
I don't mean to be unkind
But all the reasons I left you behind
They should be clear now

I don't care about you anyway
No no no
I don't care about what you've got to say
No no no
I don't care about you and I'd say it to your face
If I knew you could take it

It's been a while, I hear you talkin'
And it gets me almost every time
I still feel bad enough about when I didn't listen
To all the things you feel inside
In the end it doesn't matter
Who was wrong or who was right
I can finally sleep at night
'Cause all the reasons I left you behind
I just have to remember

I don't care about you anyway
No no no
I don't care about what you've got to say
No no no
I don't care about you anyway
No no no
I don't care about what you've got to say
No no no
I don't care about you and I'd say it to your face
If I knew you could take it

No no no
I don't care about you anyway
(I don't care about you no no no
I don't care about you)
You've got to say
(I don't care about you no no no
I don't care about you)
Anyway
No no no
(I don't care about you no no no
I don't care about you)
You've got to say
(I don't care about you no no no)
No no no




No no no
No no no

Overall Meaning

In Lake Street Dive's song "I Don't Care About You," the singer speaks to someone they've left behind. They start by saying that it's too late to make amends and that rain will eventually fall, implying that the relationship is ruined. They then admit to ignoring the person many times, without even crossing their minds. If the person wishes to see them, the singer tells them to pretend they're blind. Though they don't mean to be unkind, they left for reasons that should be clear by now.


Despite this, the singer doesn't completely disregard the person's feelings. They feel guilty about not listening to the person and, years after leaving, they still get emotional hearing them talk. However, the singer believes that it doesn't matter who was right or wrong, and they're finally able to sleep at night knowing they made the right decision for them. They don't care about the person anymore and would say it to their face if they thought they could take it.


Line by Line Meaning

Can I tell you that it's too late
Is it appropriate for me to mention that there is no turning back now?


That the rain will pour on in time
There will be consequences of my actions, and they will arrive shortly.


Many times that I ignored you
I am aware that I have neglected you plenty of instances in the past.


And it ain't even crossed your mind
You might not have realized how much I took you for granted.


If you feel the urge to see me
If you ever desire to meet me again,


Well, you'd best pretend you're blind
it would be ideal if you'd just ignore me,


I don't mean to be unkind
I am not trying to be hurtful,


But all the reasons I left you behind
However, my motives for leaving you remain,


They should be clear now
And you must be aware of them at this point.


I don't care about you anyway
I have no interest in you anymore,


No no no
absolutely not,


I don't care about what you've got to say
I am not interested in hearing about your thoughts,


I don't care about you and I'd say it to your face
I do not care about your feelings, and I will say it right in front of you,


If I knew you could take it
assuming you can handle it,


It's been a while, I hear you talkin'
It has been some time since we spoke, and I am hearing you speak again now,


And it gets me almost every time
It elicits an emotional response from me nearly every time,


I still feel bad enough about when I didn't listen
I still feel guilty about failing to listen to you,


To all the things you feel inside
to all the emotions that you kept bottled up inside,


In the end, it doesn't matter
It does not matter in the grand scheme of things,


Who was wrong or who was right
who was at fault and who was not,


I can finally sleep at night
I can finally find peace of mind,


'Cause all the reasons I left you behind
since all the reasons I parted ways with you are true,


I just have to remember
I only have to bear in mind

I see you trying
Though you can't see me
And I know your thoughts
Before you even think
I heard every last prayer you prayed
Though I answered all the time
You just didn't hear my reply
And I know it's not easy, oh

PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause the darker the night gets
The brighter the light hits
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
You ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started

BRIDGE:
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more

2 VERSE:
I'll be your way
When there's no way
And I'll be your strength
When your strength runs out
And if you walk into the fire
I'll be right there in the flames
I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause loving you's easy, yeah

PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause when the night's at its darkest
That's when the light hits the hardest
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
You ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started

CHORUS:
Open your heart, open your hands, open your eyelids
I've got more dreams, I've got more plans, I've got more blessing
Don't lose your hope, don't lose your faith, that's where your fight is
I got more dreams, I got more plans, I got more blessings
Open your heart, open your hands, open your eyelids
I've got more dreams, I've got more plans, I've got more blessings
Don't lose your hope, don't lose your faith, that's where your fight is
I got more dreams, I got more plans, I got blessings

BRIDGE:
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
So much, so much
So much more

PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
When the night's at its darkest
That's when the light hits the hardest
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause you ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started

CHORUS:
Open your heart, open your hands, open your eyelids
I've got more dreams, I've got more plans, I've got more blessings
And open your heart, open your hands, open your eyelids
I've got more dreams, I've got more plans, I've got more blessings
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me

Lyrics:

I see you, child
Though you can't see me
And I know your thoughts
Before you even think
I heard every last prayer you prayed
Though I answered all the time
You just didn't hear my reply
And I know it's not easy, oh
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause the darker the night gets
The brighter the light hits
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
You ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll be your way
When there's no way out
And I'll be your strength
When your strength runs out
And if you walk into the fire
I'll be right there in the flames
I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause loving you is easy, yeah
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause when the night's at its darkest
That's when the light hits the hardest
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
You ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I've got more dreams
I've got more plans
I've got more blessings
Don't lose your hope
Don't lose your faith
That's where your fight is
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I've got more dreams
I've got more plans
I've got more blessings
Don't lose your hope
Don't lose your faith
That's where your fight is
I've got more dreams
I've got more plans
I've got more blessings
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
So much, so much
So much more
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
When the night's at its darkest
That's when the light hits the hardest
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
'Cause you ain't seen what I promised
Child, we're just getting started
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
And open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤

@AlignedDesires

Laying in ICU after a relapse that led to an overdose& I can't even describe how this song makes me feel. So unworthy& so beyond grateful. No words could express 🙏🙏

@celineshanahan1749

@tarahazelrigg6467

I just saw this and I want you to know I am saying a prayer for you today ❤️🙏✝️
I hope you’re doing better and I am not giving up on you and I know our wonderful Jesus isn’t either! I just saw a video that talked about Christians can be like dead trees if we don’t spend time with God… Find a song and worship Him! Pull out your Bible and spend time with Him in His word… I pray His Holy Spirit will give you power today and every day!
You are loved ❤
