Back When I Cared

Lyrics

I used to cry over you
And the things you done to me
I used to cry all the time
I used to wonder 'bout the other
Ones you had runnin'
If their tears were realer than mine
I used to crawl in my skin
Trying to win back the love
That just wasn't there
You used to be
The star of my dreams
Long ago
Back when I cared
Back when I cared I was a little less fancy free
Now there ain't nobody else who's gonna pacify me
I'm flying like a falcon in the air
But I'm a happier man now
Than back when I cared
I used to fall at your feet
Dying to live for you
I used to die all the time
Life was a nightmare of riches
Fire in my britches
Lying to me in my mind
I was lost in a scene
Drowning in meaningless tears
Wanting for air
You used to be
The star of my dreams
Long ago
Back when I cared
Back when I cared I was a little less fancy free
Now there ain't nobody else who's gonna pacify me
I'm flying like an eagle in the air
But I'm a happier man now
Than back when I cared
Back when I cared
Back when I cared
Back when I cared
