I Didn't Know That You Cared - Lloyd Cole

Yes, you’re taking it badly, I know, I know

And you feel so alone

And everybody’s got to tell you what you already know

It’s alright, it’s all wrong, it’s alright

There’s a riot going on, maybe I’m going under and

I didn’t know that you cared

«Was it love that you had?»

she said, «well, something like that» and I

I didn’t know that you cared

I really didn’t know that you cared

I really didn’t know

I see photographs strewn on the floor

Amidst your Blake and your young

Are you looking for something that’s already gone?

It’s alright, it’s all wrong, it’s alright

There’s a riot going on, maybe I’m going under and

I didn’t know that you cared

Somebody said «Peace is alright, could we give it a try?»

Well, I, I didn’t know that you cared

I got a letter, it was asking for money, it said

«Give what you can.»

Well, I don’t know what I’ve got

And I don’t know if I really want to be

So aware

Yes, I’m falling apart at the seams and I

I’ve been waiting for years

Take a look in my eyes, do you see any tears?

It’s alright, it’s all wrong, it’s alright

There’s a riot going on and we’re lions in slumber and

I didn’t know that you cared

And if I gave you some petrol, would you make yourself useful?

Well, I didn’t know that you cared

I really didn’t know that you cared

Didn’t even know you were there

No, I didn’t know that you cared

I really didn’t know

That you cared
