Careless
Ulrikke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just can′t hold back
Oh, it's nagging ma, what you're feeling
Don′t breathe now, it′s in the air
It's just a trend, why you care?
Bitching like it′s your theme song
How can it all be wrong?
Ooh-ah
You got absolutely zero chill
Pop a pill from Dr. Phil
Running in circles on your treadmill
Time that you learnt the drill
Careless
Don't think about those things making you upset
′Bout stuff you cannot change, oh, it's so hopeless
Such a mess, I′m not impressed
Mm-mm
You need to care less
Hey snowflake, what's happening?
Just a zero stuck in
Hate to see them caps lock hero
In the crowd, it's all so loud
It′s overshare, but I don′t care
Bitching like it's your theme song
How can it all be wrong?
Why you think I wrote this song?
Ooh-ah
You got absolutely zero chill
Pop a pill from Dr. Phil
Running in circles on your treadmill
Time that you learnt the drill
Careless
Don′t think about those things making you upset
'Bout stuff you cannot change, oh, it′s so hopeless
Such a mess I'm not impressed
Ooh-ooh
You need to care less
Ah-ah
Don′t matter who's to blame
We're all stuck in the same old lane
Just driving ourselves insane
Oh-oh
We′re chasing fame
Gotta let it go ′cause it's such a shame
Shit′s getting lame
Oh-oh
Careless
Don't think about those things making you upset
′Bout stuff you cannot change, oh, it's so hopeless
Such a mess I′m not impressed
Ooh
You need to care less
