Whatever, Who Cares, It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Why do you believe I’m not going to hurt you?
If we’re being honest here that may not be true
I hear that you’re the kind that likes to be used
Telling me nothing can penetrate that shell
Built up around yourself to hide from the hell
At least that’s what they tell me you created it for
Whatever, who cares, it doesn’t matter anymore

People look at you and say love isn’t enough
Bleeding hearts break, but you gotta stay tough
You know everybody likes it a little bit rough
Everyone has their little secrets to stay hidden
Things that are messy and certainly forbidden
Go ahead leave it all and walk out the door
Whatever, who cares, it doesn’t matter anymore

This Christ that you heard of is an indifferent bait
Salvation isn’t for you, and besides its too late
What you really need is someone to hate
Ignore all the ones who try to cause you pain
Hurt enough people and you’ll get your fame
Don’t know why you’d want to settle the score
Whatever, who cares, it doesn’t matter anymore

All the hope you once held has long since been gone
I guess you’re tired of pretending that nothing is wrong
That’s because my dear, you never did belong
How are you going to make this life better
Thinking you can turn your own blood redder
I’m glad you’re giving up, there’s death to explore
Whatever, who cares, it doesn’t matter anymore
