You Don't Have To

歌詞

Remember walking hand in hand side by side? We walked the dogs and took long strolls to the park-- Except we never had dogs And never went to the park. Remember how we used to fuck all night long? Neither do I because I always passed out. I needed lots of the booze To handle the pain. You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. It just embarrasses me And makes you look like a fool. Remember when the tenderness stopped, And the kindness turned to pity and disgust, And the smiles were stopped Before they could start, And understanding was now just a tool (We used it every chance we got to be cruel), And we cringed because We couldn't make ourselves stop? You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. It just embarrasses me And makes you look like a fool. There are days when I think about you, And on those days I really feel like a fool Because you don't deserve To have somebody think about you. I feel so stupid 'cause I let myself down. I acted like a motherfucking clown At a circus On the outskirts of town. You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. You don't have to pretend to care. You don't have to say things that you don't mean. It just embarrasses me Because you think you're so fucking cool.
