Nobody Cares

This desk is tear-stained from my college days
When I'd be writing history papers about us
But if we're going to coin the phrase, take it right from the page
It'll never happen again, this kind of love
And still I sit here swinging in my chair
Staring out the window whispering a prayer
Even though nobody cares
Nobody cares, oh

I stand in the bathroom and sing another song
Something sad to echo off the plain, blank walls
I never need to write the lyrics down, because this pink frown
Lasts every day to remind of the name to call
And I just stand here watching my damned face
As my hands realize they had a place
Even though nobody cares
Nobody cares, oh

It's too complicated to escape in a shower
I toss my towel on the bed and weep for an hour
Like yesterday and the months before
Headphones, headache
Warm tea, no, for god's sake
Just let me see you again to ease my pain

But you're gone, you're somewhere else
And I'm here all by myself
Faking a smile and no one's aware
'Cause nobody cares
Nobody cares
