Ooh-oh
Oh, oh

I was honest to the bone, got burned every time
Spent a lifetime giving kindness to the ones who paid with lies
I bent myself in half, just to keep the peace
Learned the hard way, or disappears when you bleed
I gave my best to people who smiled and turned away
Learned real quick what they never say
Life gets heavy when you carry it alone
So I stopped explaining things to people who won't know

Hate me if you want (I don't care)
I don't care anymore (I won't change)
Who I am, just to fit through your door (oh)
It is what it is, I made peace with that (zero fucks to give)
And I'm not looking back (I don't care)
You can talk all night when I'm not around
I'm staying busy building something real on solid ground
I'd rather stand alone with my truth intact
Than bend my spine again, just to earn you back
(I don't care) mm, oh
(I don't care)

I was good to those who stared me, watched them smile and leave
Sat through all the gossip, every quiet scheme
I learned to stand alone when the love was thin
That's when I stopped letting everybody in
I walked through rooms full of noise and grins
Felt alone in crowds, even next to friends

Hate me if you want (I don't care)
I don't care anymore (I won't change)
Who I am, just to fit through your door
It is what it is, I made peace with that (zero fucks to give)
And I'm not looking back (I don't care)
You can talk all night when I'm not around
I'm staying busy building something real on solid ground
I'd rather stand alone with my truth intact
Than bend my spine again, just to earn you back
(I don't care) yeah-oh, oh, oh-oh
(I don't care)

Oh, every scar I earn reminds me what's real
Every lesson learned costs blood and years
I don't hate nobody, I just don't pretend
I learn where I stop and where I end

Oh, hate me if you want
It's fine with me
My hands stay dirty, my mind stays free
It is what it is, I won't explain that shit
Zero fucks to give, yeah, I live with it
I didn't lose my heart, I just drew the line
And for the first damn time
Life is mine, mm

Oh, oh (I don't care)
Oh, oh (I don't care)
Oh, oh (I don't care)
Mm, mm
