You Don't Even Care

YOU DON'T EVEN CARE - Written by Carroll Bryant 



There’s an echo in my heart
And it answers to my tears
From when you hurt me oh, so hard
And you don’t even care

I’m frozen in this time
With my hands up to my ears
Going mad out of my mind
And you don’t even care

So come the days where all I do
Is lay in bed and think of you
Wishing that it was true
That you are thinking of me too

There’s a songbird just outside
It’s just sadly sitting there
Like me, it wants to fly
But it can’t because it tried
And you don’t even care

No, you don’t even care
If I lived or if I died
My funeral would be bare
From all the people I pushed aside
To think I did all that
Just to have you standing here
But you left and now you’re gone
And now I’m standing all alone
And you don’t even care

It’s not the pain that gets to me
But the manner which you could leave
And still my eyes just can’t believe
What they no longer wish to see
That you’re no longer there

And you don’t even care

No, you don’t even care
If I just melted all away
To know that love is so unfair
Having to live my life this way
To think what I could be
If I could turn and find you there
But there’s no morning sun around here
You made yourself perfectly clear
That you don’t even care

You brought the end on top of me
I find it hard to just conceive
That you don’t even care

And as my world slowly burns
And your world gently turns
You are a lesson I will never learn

You don’t even care

Our Hearts

OUR HEARTS - Written by Carroll Bryant 


The size of my heart
Could never hold the amount of love
I feel for you

There's too many thoughts
For my head to hold
That my mouth just can't find
The words

My eyes are blind to the vision
Of you and me
But my soul feels all

My soul feels love

You dance in wonderment
Inside my illusions
And delusions
And dreams

You live in my moments
Time that you have stolen
Away from me

There's never an answer
To all of my questions
Just whispers clinging in mid air

You're too real for me to feel
Yet feel for you I do
I feel for you, all that is true

A tear from your eye
Is a dagger to my heart
Know this and you will know it all

A smile on your face, a laugh
Is what keeps me alive
Know this and I will know it all

Know this, and we shall know love
Love in its plain form
Is love that lives in both of

Our hearts!

World Of Torment

WORLD OF TORMENT - Written by Carroll Bryant 



Here, in the middle of seduction
You bring me to my knees
Convoluting all my fantasies

I often have difficulty saying what I know I should say
It never comes out of my mouth that way
It’s a dark world that keeps tormenting me

Take the money, it means less to me than what you think
Steal the words I write
Go ahead, what are you waiting for?

Often times I wonder what goes on through your mind
Is it me?
Is it him?
Is it her?
Is it just a lonely breeze from Madagascar?

Here, in the center of your attention
I crumble
Wilting like a weed

You clearly close your thoughts to me
Where do you run and hide from me?
And why can‘t you bring me along?

Take the memories, they have faded anyway
Borrow your time while I play
And drink the fine wine of Etruria

Often times I squander the pesos I find on the street
Is it free?
Is it me?
Is it us?
Is it just another town to travel to?

There is no unlocked door in the tormenting world I dwell
I see heaven
I hear hell

Voices that dampen out like a squelch from a bat
In the belfry of my heart
In an old Victorian love we made so long ago
Then destroyed with our abandonment

We both made that decision, didn’t we?

Tell me something that the wind doesn’t know
Something that will cause frost bite to my anguish
Whatever you do, don’t say that
That of what I know you want to reveal
I already know you love me
But your love is hate
I love to hate that about you
Like you love to hate that you love me

You never will tell me, I know it

Here, in the middle of seduction
You bring me to my tears
Mimicking my fantasies

In or out of my life, you make my world a wreck
You make my world a volcano
You make my world a world of torment
