2013 Levi Michaud - Levi is the youngest of my six children from my first marriage. He is a great writer and has so much talent. He came to me with this song and we worked on it for a long time. He’s such a perfectionist; I wonder if it will ever be completed to his satisfaction. But for now I posted the best version in my opinion.
I tried to figure out the meaning behind the lyrics but gave up. It sounds very sad and tragic and I can only hope writing it was therapeutic in some way to Levi.
YOU DON’T CARE
© 2013 Words & music by Levi Michaud
When it was just you and me
On the streets being who we wanted to be
And everything was fine when we were there
We lost our place in time, not a single care
But now that time is gone
And so are you because it had gone all wrong
You lost a friend back in that state
A complacent heart which left in disgrace
You sold out on your pride
I called you then but every attempt was denied
And now you back, you say brand new
But here you'll see hearts aren't fixed with super glue
You don't care
You never will
You say you've changed
But you're lies'll never heal
Flash back when we had a bad day
And I guess you could say it ended in rain
I took the fall, and I took it all
Every bitter accusation I still recall
I spoke truth and gave you life
While I withered away n you let me die
I went to the flow of your changing mood
Happy, sad, but almost always rude
I endured it all, all in vein
Now this hearts burned with a crimson stain
This couldn't last, not for long
When smoke clears you'll be all alone
You don't care
You never will
You say you've changed
But you're lies'll never heal
I got burned
But now I've learned
I've got burned
But now I've learned
That you don't care
You never will
You say you've changed
But you're lies'll never heal
