Back When I Cared

(album: Naked Garden - 2020)

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 running
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
