If You'd Only Cared

by Andrew Morton   Jul 6, 2007


When it was late at night
and you were fast asleep
i was lying awake in my bed
trying so hard to keep
these tears from running
all over and down my face
but i'd wipe them dry
and never leave a trace

of what i had gone through
of how i used to feel

[chorus]
if you'd only knew
of the things i used to do
if you'd only seen
that i cried myself to sleep
if you'd only talk
i wouldnt have had to walk
if you'd only cared
maybe i wouldn't be here

do you remember a time
of a cluster of days
when we shouldn't speak
cause i had nothing to say
what did you want to hear
that i was doing okay?
well thats what you got
while i secretly prayed

for something i didnt have
for something ill never know

[chorus]
if you'd only listened
to what i was missing
if you'd had opened your eyes
you'd see i was living a lie
if you'd only grown
then i could have shown
if you'd only cared
then i wouldnt be here

stuck in this moment
with bloodshot eyes
stuck in this moment
still dying inside
stuck in this moment
what will come next
stuck in this moment
now that nothing is left

[chorus]
if you'd only given a f-ck
i wouldnt be here alone and forever stuck
if you'd only given a damn
i would have been something better than i am
if you'd only given a sh-t
i would be able to make these pieces fit
if you'd only cared
this wouldn't be so hard for me to bare

if you'd only cared
