I Don't Care

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need to stay when you walk away
I don't need to move when you're in my way
I don't need to see what we are today
I don't wanna stay up late just to hold you
I don't wanna do what we used to do
Oh I don't care
I don't even know why we're trying
I don't even care just to ask
'Cause baby don't you know that we're dying
I don't be sad, and it's over
But I don't care
I don't need to be your everything
I don't need to be your sweetest thing
Baby we were lost when you hold my hand
Baby I just don't wanna understand
I don't wanna stay up late just to hold you
I don't wanna do what we used to do
Oh I don't care
I don't even know why we're trying
I don't even care just to ask
'Cause baby don't you know that we're dying
I don't be sad, and it's over
But I don't care
When it's over, and I'm free
When it's done, for you and me
And I know you know that I don't want
I don't want its for you and me
And I don't even know why we're trying
I don't even care just to ask
'Cause baby don't you know that we're dying
I don't be sad, and it's over
And I don't even know why we're trying
I don't even care just to ask
'Cause baby don't you know that we are dying
I don't be sad, and it's over
But I don't care
I don't care
But I don't care
The lyrics to Rendy Pandugo's "I Don't Care" speak of a relationship that has lost its meaning and is slowly dying. The singer doesn't need to be with their partner when they're away, nor do they need to see what they have become. They don't want to stay up late to hold their partner or do the things they used to do together. The singer has lost interest and doesn't even know why they're trying anymore. They don't want to ask the tough questions because they already know the answer: their relationship is dying.
The chorus of the song repeats the same line over and over: "I don't care." This could be interpreted in different ways. It could be the singer's way of trying to convince themselves that they don't care about the relationship because it's easier than confronting the truth. Alternatively, it could be a statement of acceptance that the relationship is over and the singer truly doesn't care anymore.
The second half of the song seems to suggest that the singer is waiting for the relationship to end so they can move on. They don't want to be with their partner anymore, but they also don't want to hurt them. The last line, "But I don't care," takes on a different meaning in this context. It's not a statement of apathy, but a statement of determination. The singer knows that the end is coming, and they're ready to move forward.

When it's over, and I'm free
I will feel relieved and happy once our relationship ends
When it's done, for you and me
Once our relationship ends, it will be over for both of us
And I know you know that I don't want
You're aware that I am not invested in this relationship anymore
I don't want its for you and me
I don't want our relationship to continue, for the sake of both of us
