You Don't Care
The Midnight Thunder Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I've walked into my favorite bar
I saw you there alone sitting in the darkest corner
I've known you for a while and you have always blown my mind
And you don't care

You don't care, don't care
You don't care I do more than ever
You don't care, don't care

You don't care or tell me do you
(You don't care), more than ever
(You don't care), tell me do you

It's gotten late and nobody else was in there
I've had far too many, sad thoughts came up to my head
You cought my eye, then left and I lingered on my own
And you don't care

You don't care, don't care
You don't care I do more than ever
You don't care, don't care
You don't care or tell me do you
(You don't care), more than ever
(You don't care), tell me do you

You don't care or do you
Mm tell me
Do you even dare
Tell me
So tell me do you even care

You don't care, don't care
You don't care I do more than ever
You don't care, don't care
You don't care or tell me do you
(You don't care), more than ever
(You don't care), tell me do you

You don't care, don't care
You don't care I do more than ever
You don't care, don't care
You don't care or tell me do you

(You don't care), more than ever
(You don't care), tell me do you Uh

Last night I've walked into my favorite bar
I went to my favorite bar last night

I saw you there alone sitting in the darkest corner
I saw you sitting alone in the darkest corner

I've known you for a while and you have always blown my mind
I've known you for a while and you never cease to amaze me

And you don't care
But you don't seem to care about my feelings

It's gotten late and nobody else was in there
It got late and everyone else left the bar

I've had far too many, sad thoughts came up to my head
I had too much to drink and became sad

You cought my eye, then left and I lingered on my own
You caught my eye and then left, leaving me alone

You don't care or do you
I wonder if you actually care

Mm tell me
Please tell me

Do you even dare
Do you even have the courage

Tell me
Please tell me
