Please understand. I don't mean to hurt you.
I can't help but think do I truly care?
Tell me - why do you cry to me of all people
Your tears slowly fall. Yet you think I will comfort?
I don't hate you but still, your pain is not my problem!
Please understand. I don't want to be cruel.
You are shaking with fear and no one can hear you.
Somehow you're wishing that I would take the pain from your heart
My conscience tells me I should find and console you
but the evil within me tells me to leave
Please understand, don't beg me to care.
You have my sympathy little girl, is that not enough?
I'll sit and listen to all your misfortune and delight
But let fire fall on your worries in hell, where I'll be burning through boredom. Remember this when I tell you, I can't help you, Child!

Watching as your family cry out of sadness
Your lifeless eyes scream at me, asking why did you not care?
My mind in torment, thinking I all to blame
I'm sorry my friend, I'm bawling my eyes out
All for you - Please understand I had not meant to not care.
