"I Do And I Don't Care (Alt Version)" lyrics

I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and the joke's on you
'Cause you do
You do, don't you?

"Be very careful what you wish for," she said
Looking at me all smug
Like she was the first person to say that
"I'm not complaining
I'm not complaining," I say
"I'm whingeing in a new way"
And as yet another person with a doctorate in 'Internet' diagnoses me with ADHD
I'm done
I don't care
But I do

I'm still fifteen years old surely
The passing of time is only measured by the child you talk of
While I talk about mine
My childhood
The only child I know

I watch the biased cut movie on repeat in my head
It's still me, but in an old way
One day
One day you will see your reflection in the pub window
And you're smoking even though you've never been a smoker
And you'll think, "Fuck me!
Is this really all there is?"

This really is all there is
And that's the thing you've got to get comfy with
We're not chasing happiness anymore, girls
We're chasing nothing
The great big still
The deep blue okay
And we're okay today

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I'm so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I'm so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I'm so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I'm so strong
Why am I broken?

If I'm so empowered
Why am I such a coward?
If I'm so strong
Why am I broken?

I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and I don't care
I do and I don't care, I do and the joke's on you
'Cause you do
You do, don't you?
