why care

they only love you when you hate yourself
happiness born out of your frown
maybe if they knew
what you're going through

maybe then they'd smile
when your world is more yellow than blue

but they don't work like that
"why care?" they ask
it's their own little game
that always ends with you and a flask

"why care?" they ask
it's stupid to hope they understand
it's stupid
to wish they'd hold your hand

but none of those things matter
you need to smile on
and hope their hearts don't shatter
when you realize you're better off
