I DON'T CARE

I DON'T CARE 
© Farouk Asvat 

I don't care
For the one who cares for me
For the one I care for
Doesn't care for me

So I have learnt
Not to care
For the one I care for
Because
Maybe
She will learn
To care for me

For the one that hurts
Finds another
And the one that hurts
Hurts forever
