I shouldn’t care
What if he tells me that we’re through
I shouldn’t care
I’ll get along, I always do
Why should I care
Why beat my head against the wall
I shouldn’t care at all…
This was supposed to be clever
Carefree and carelessly wild
Now when he tells me it’s over
I fall in love like a child
I didn’t care
Until the flame began to cool
I didn’t care
But now I’m falling like a fool
It isn’t fair
And I keep saying as I fall
I shouldn’t care at all
I have to work for a living
I’m no Marie-Antoinette
People who work for a living
Can’t run away to forget
So here I am
Not even dreams left on my shelf
How near I am
To going mad here by myself
Why did I dare
Right from the start, I swear I knew
I shouldn’t care… but I do…
