Lyrics I Didn't Know That You Cared - Lloyd Cole

Yes, you're taking it badly, I know, I know
And you feel so alone
And everybody's got to tell you what you already know.
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

There's a riot going on, maybe I'm going under and
I didn't know that you cared
"Was it love that you had?" she said, "well, something like that" and I,
I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know.

I see photographs strewn on the floor
Amidst your Blake and your young
Are you looking for something that's already gone?
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

There's a riot going on, maybe I'm going under and
I didn't know that you cared,
Somebody said "Peace is alright, could we give it a try?"
Well, I, I didn't know that you cared

I got a letter, it was asking for money, it said
"Give what you can."
Well, I don't know what I've got
And I don't know if I really want to be
So aware

Yes, I'm falling apart at the seams and I,
I've been waiting for years
Take a look in my eyes, do you see any tears?
It's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

There's a riot going on and we're lions in slumber and
I didn't know that you cared
And if I gave you some petrol, would you make yourself useful?
Well, I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know that you cared
Didn't even know you were there
No, I didn't know that you cared
I really didn't know
That you cared
