Thought I understood All the things that you told me You were going through Tried to be there, and wanted to pull you through And show you how much you're loved Made a song and dance Whenever I would ask you Just what was wrong You would say something like: "nothing hon'" All along telling me lies If you really cared Cared about me Then you would care about Care about us If you cared about me Then you would have cared about love Felt betrayed I was giving good loving Yet still you strayed Wasn't I good enough? You were, oh, so sweet I guess it was your sweetness That blinded me If you really cared If you cared You would be there for me You wouldn't have left me feeling lonely If you really cared Then you would have cared about us Cared about love Said you cared Now you're asking for forgiveness It's much too late I don't want you near If you cared about me Then you would have cared about love If you really cared Cared about me Then you wouldn't have Hurt me as you did If you cared about me Then you would have cared about love
