I Didn't Care

Lyrics

You said we’re through I didn’t care You’ve someone new I didn’t care
Maybe I’m dumb to feel so numb when my world overturned
The end of us I didn’t care It’s serious I didn’t care
Don’t ask me why my eyes are dry and still I’m unconcerned

You broke my heart I didn’t care We have to part I didn’t care
Alone again I feel no pain I’ve been anaesthetized
I feel so calm I didn’t care There’s no alarm I didn’t care
I’ve gone ahead My passion fled My misery’s disguised

So all the best I didn’t care Our love’s gone West I didn’t care
No one’s to blame it’s just a game A game that I can’t win
I’m in a trance I didn’t care No second glance I didn’t care
Cause now you’ve gone my life goes on I’ll take it on the chin

I love the contrast of the fast strummed uke with your beautiful, gentle legato vocals - it feels like the uke is sort of fired up, but the lovely rolling vocals "don't care" - wonderful prosody!

I agree with @billwhite51 - this definitely has Elvis vibes! The “I didn’t care” line is a total earworm. Good stuff!

this could be mistaken for a lost hank williams song. i can also imagine elvis presley singing it in a movie.
