Yeah
I cared too hard
That’s where I lost it
Verse 1
I gave too much, now I’m feeling it crack
Had my heart wide open, never guarded my back
Every thought running circles, I’m stuck in my head
Tried to hold it together, but I’m barely ahead
I was fixing the problems that weren’t even mine
Stayed patient while I was running out of time
Every feeling I felt, I felt it too deep
Now I’m tired of drowning every time I speak
I stayed up late just to keep it alive
While my own peace slowly slipped by
Now I breathe a little easier letting it fade
Some things hurt less when they’re not replayed
Pre-Chorus
I tried love, I tried trust
Tried holding on till it turned to dust
Now the quiet feels safer to me
Than caring about what I can’t be
Chorus
I don’t care like I did before
Had to let it go just to breathe some more
If the care is what’s pulling me down
I’ll let it drift, let it fall, let it drown
I don’t care like I did last year
I been fighting myself just to stay right here
I don’t care, yeah, I’m choosing peace
I don’t care like I did—
And that’s saving me
Verse 2
I was feeling everything, every word they said
Now I’m learning what to leave unsaid
I don’t hate, I don’t blame
I just walked away from the weight
I was giving my all with nothing returned
Every lesson I learned, I learned it the hard way
Now my heart stay calm, my mind stay clear
I stopped chasing love that disappeared
I don’t need closure, I don’t need proof
I don’t need pain just to tell the truth
Some doors close when you finally see
They were never meant for you and me
I tried hope, I tried faith
Tried staying strong through the mistakes
Now I let go, I don’t pretend
I choose myself in the end
Chorus
I don’t care like I did before
Had to let it go just to breathe some more
If the care is what’s pulling me down
I’ll let it drift, let it fall, let it drown
I don’t care like I did last year
I been fighting myself just to stay right here
I don’t care, yeah, I’m choosing peace
I don’t care like I did—
And that’s saving me
Bridge
I’m still human, yeah, I still feel
I just don’t bleed for what isn’t real
I see the edge, I know the dark
But I’m not letting it tear me apart
Letting go don’t mean I lost
It just means I learned the cost
I didn’t quit, I didn’t run
I just stopped fighting what was done
Final Chorus
I don’t care like I did before
I found peace in the quiet storms
If the care is what’s pulling me down
I’ll let it drift, let it fall, let it drown
I don’t care like I did back then
I’m still standing, I’m still breathing
I don’t care, yeah, I finally see
I don’t care like I did—
And that’s saving me
Outro (
I didn’t stop feeling
I just stopped breaking for it
