Why Should I Care

[Verse 1]
I'm getting sick of living in the middle of nowhere
I fantasize what it would be like if I just left
And I’ve been working on this since I don't even know where
But being boxed in how I am makes me feel like I'm less
Of a part of something bigger than myself
Sometimes I just wanna run away and run like hell
And my schooling isn’t making it much better, but I can't move away
It's getting harder by the day to think I'll be okay
And now I'm sitting here
In a room full of my biggest fears
And I've been fighting just to keep my head above
Thе rising water that is coming to take me undеr
And I can't help but just wonder
Where will I go if I just wander?
And lately, I can't focus on a thing but my album and my girl
I’m sick of being in Missouri, wanna be in any other place in the world

[Chorus]
Why should I care when I don’t have a single care in the world?
I wasn't there for the ones who needed me most in the world
I distanced myself, now I don’t have a single care in the world
And I wish that I could change

[Verse 2]
Yesterday, I told you how I've been feeling
You then replied with words that were so healing
Maybe, down the line, we'll both have grown
Maybe, down the line, I won't be so cold
Ruined so many great things ’cause I look out
For myself more than for the ones that I hold down
I know in the past couple years, I've done some hurting
But I just want those people to know that I've been learning
Learning how to care more, learning how to keep trust
Learning how to put in more effort, and how to open up
And to the one who first saw my vision back when no one else did
I'm sorry that I brought you into what you shouldn't deal with
Truth is, I'm a bad friend, 'least I was in past tense
Cherished what we made together, hate how things would happen
Truth is, I'm a has-been in some lives I have been in
And it's happened again, and again, and again in my world

[Chorus]
Why should I care when I don't have a single care in the world?
I wasn't there for the ones who needed me most in the world
I distanced myself, now I don't have a single care in the world
And I wish that I could change

[Outro]
(Wish that I could change, wish it'd stop suffocating me)
(Didn't wanna get out of line if I let it be)
(The truth is, for the past couple years, felt so isolated)
(I got comfortable, and didn't wanna break free)
(Now I got a girl and some friends to hold it down for me)
(Still figuring out the world, I'm gonna find the true me)
(I really do care, I really do care)
(About everything, about everything, about it all)
