I Wish I Couldn't Care


I wish I couldn't care

But the truth is I do

I have done everything I can 

All because I care about you

 

I'm sick and tired

And it hurts to say

That I can't fix you

And you're driving me away

 

Look in the mirror

Can't you see what you've done

You only care about yourself

You've left everyone shunned

 

I'm not a miracle worker

But you know I still tried

Tried for the impossible

Now it's eating me alive

 

I wish I couldn't care

But the truth is I do

But now I have to move on

And try to forget about you.
