**(Verse 1)**
You say it like it’s a disclaimer,
Like, “Just so we’re clear—”
“I care about you,”
Not love. God, no. Don’t be weird.
You say it fast, like it might bite,
Like love’s a lawsuit you’ll invite.
I nod like, “Yeah, totally fair,”
While mentally going *okay then???*
**(Pre-Chorus)**
You hug me like it’s a loophole,
Too long for friends, too short for more.
You’re allergic to labels, fine, cool—
Just don’t act shocked when I notice.
**(Chorus)**
You don’t love me,
You just *care*.
Huge difference, apparently.
You don’t love me,
You just *care*,
Say it like it’s HR-approved.
If this is caring, congrats, I guess,
Gold star for emotional finesse.
Yeah, you don’t love me—
You just *care*.
Relax.
**(Verse 2)**
You get weird when I flirt with strangers,
But swear it’s “nothing like that.”
You say, “I’m not jealous,”
While side-eyeing every man I pass.
You text me memes at 1 a.m.,
But dodge feelings like spam.
You’re like, “I’d die for you,”
But not emotionally — ew.
**(Pre-Chorus)**
You say love ruins friendships,
Funny how this is going great.
I’m not asking for a wedding,
Just maybe… consistency?
**(Chorus)**
You don’t love me,
You just *care*.
Say it slow so I don’t mishear.
You don’t love me,
You just *care*,
Like that clears the atmosphere.
If caring means mixed signals daily,
Then wow, you’re doing amazing, sweetie.
Yeah, you don’t love me—
You just *care*.
**(Bridge – talking, half-laughing)**
No, it’s fine.
I get it.
Love is scary, feelings are cringe,
Vulnerability is illegal.
We’re adults.
This is normal.
Totally normal.
I’m not spiraling —
I’m *vibing*.
**(Final Chorus)**
You don’t love me,
You just *care*,
And honestly? That tracks.
You don’t love me,
You just *care*,
Like a friend with benefits — emotionally.
If this is your version of deep,
I respect the commitment to the bit.
Yeah, you don’t love me—
You just *care*.
**(Outro)**
Say it again if it helps you sleep.
“I care about you.”
Cool.
Same.
