Why Don't You Quit Caring?

---

You stayed up all night again, didn’t you? (ohhh no, not again)

Worried ‘bout the world, like it’s all up to you

You patch up hearts like you’re made of glue (mmm-hmm)

But when’s the last time someone fixed you?

---

You give, give, give — they just take (yeah they do)

You break your back for their mistakes (ohhh it aches)

Don’t you get tired of being the flame

In rooms that never say your name? (never say it, no no)

---

Why don’t you quit caring? (ohhh why don't you?)

Let it all fall down, just stop the tearing (stop it now)

Ohhh, why don’t you say no for once? (just once)

Let it burn, watch the silence dance (la da daaa)

You’re not their savior, you don’t have to be

Why don’t you quit caring… and care for you finally? (yeahhhh)

---

You smile through storms like it’s rehearsed (mmm fake it good)

But I’ve seen the lines where it still hurts (I see ‘em)

You hold the pieces like they’re yours to save

But you weren’t the one who made them break (nah nah)

---

You bleed for people who don’t see (they don’t see you)

How rare it is to love like you breathe (ohhh breathe...)

You hide your pain behind their grace

But don’t you miss your own embrace? (your own love, yeah yeah)

---

Why don’t you quit caring? (quit it, ohhh)

Let go of the weight you keep wearing (take it off, yeahhh)

Ohhh, why don’t you scream back just once? (let it out, now)

Let the quiet feel what you've done

You're not a fortress, you’re allowed to fall (allowed to break)

Why don’t you quit caring… and care not at all? (mmm...)

---

It’s okay to drop the light... (ohhh let it fade)

Let someone else hold the fight... (just this time)

You’re not wrong for needing peace

Even angels need release (yeah they do... ohhh)

---

Why don’t you quit caring? (quit caring, baby)

Just for tonight, stop comparing (stop comparing, yeahhh)

Ohhh, say no without the guilt (say no, say no)

Let your walls rebuild (ohhh rebuild)

You’re worthy even when you break (you’re still enough)

Why don’t you quit caring…

For everyone’s sake? (yeahhh...)
