[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
[Verse 1]
Can't find it in the bible
Can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds
There's something inside me that just won't allow me
To find it in music
Can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate
Oh babe, I can't hide it, I can't even find it in you
[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
[Verse 2]
There's no way she can kiss you
The way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of who you've been talking to
Long nights without you
Have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my losses
Think no more about it cause I couldn't find it in you
[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
[Bridge]
There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
Now you don't want me any more
It's time to settle the score
[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether, I've torn all your letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope and it's time that I told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
[Outro]
It's time to settle the score

We came up with the song initially and we wanted to use this sort of old-school big Phil Spector production, take that into a modern form and make a sort of classic 60s sounding pop song with a twist from 2001. The melody was in place and I wanted to find a classic line that would fit into the song....
