Care the twelfth and last track of Wishbone, Conan Gray’s fourth studio album, captures the messy in-between of post-breakup life, when you’ve let go enough to move forward, but still feel a pang seeing your ex with someone else. Conan lays bare the contradiction of being “over it” and understanding...
[Verse 1]
Charlie went to your show
Says he can tell that you're doing well
Finally out of your spell
Now all that I want is just to move on
[Pre-Chorus]
Life's so much better now that we don't speak
And we felt like strangers in February
But there will always be parts of me that are yours
[Chorus]
And I don't cry 'cause it is over
I just don't feel like I could love again
And I told myself that I'm over you
But I care, I care, care, care
[Verse 2]
My fault for making believe (Ah-ah)
Mistook who you are for who you could be (Ah-ah)
Pretend to hate you instead
Though I won't miss being your lover, I'm still losing a friend
[Chorus]
So I don't cry 'cause it is over
I just don't feel like I could love again
And I told myself that I'm over you
But I care, I care, care (I care)
Care (I care)
Care, care, care, care (I care)
[Bridge]
I'm not trying to say that I want you back but it's nice to linger in the past
Oh, it's good to know that you're not attached, but why does it trigger me so bad
To see you with somebody
Who is not me and you're happy?
[Chorus]
But I don't cry 'cause it is over
I just don't feel like I could love again
And I tell myself that I'm over you
But I care, I care, care (I care)
Care (I care)
Care, care, care (I care), care (I care)
