Care To Care

To be a hundred percent clear
I don't have much left it seems
It must mean I have given in
To fears instead of dreams
I wish for love and happiness
Instead I find emptiness and sorrow
I am stuck in the pain of today
And have long forgotten tomorrow
I wonder if I was made bad
What my life could have been
I wonder if I would stay the same
If choices were given again
In circles my path in life has been
Never is anything complete
So I keep marching on
Until I meet my bitter defeat
People say a lot of useless words
And many feelings they try and share
But "I Love You" falls silent 
When you no longer care to care
