Back When I Cared

[Intro]
Rollin'?
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be
The star of my dreams
Long ago
Back when I cared

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be
The star of my dreams
Long ago
Back when I cared

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Back when I cared
Back when I cared
Back when I cared

[Outro]
Woah, ye—
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aha
Aw, yeah
Aw yeah, aw yeah, aw yeah
Woo, ooh-ooh, ha
Alright
Mm, back when I cared
Aw, yeah
I don't care what you did last night
Wah, oh, alright
Alright, alright
Alright
