Care Lyrics
It's been a while since I've talked about it
Maybe it's time to cooperate
I need some help to forget about it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy
Stop saying you give a shit
'Cause you don't really
[Chorus]
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's been a while since I've thought about it
Maybe it's time to communicate
I was seven to think about it
The fact I still can't forget about it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy
I guess I've had it rough
But you don't really
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, by the way
I'm still the same
I'm still the same
But are you the same?
Oh, by the way
I'm still the same
I'm still the same
But are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Forget about it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want your sympathy
I guess I've had it rough
But you don't really
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
[Outro]
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Oh, oh
You, you
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you the same?
Are you?

This song has end-of-a-’90s movie vibes, like you’re driving down a highway. It is pretty much me being angry at society, or people around me who I just don’t think know me and don’t care. I don’t want you to feel fucking sorry for me. I just want you to understand what I’ve been through. I never expected to be making the first video from my album during a pandemic! I was so lucky to be locked down with the bedroom guys, it feels like it turned out as one of the most personal, real videos I’ve made. I’m so excited to share it!

As soon as this came to life, I was like, ‘This is the first song.’ It describes the whole sound of Fake It Flowers—the big guitars, that nostalgic feeling. And lyrically the song talks about the fact that no one is ever going to get me. But it’s the idea that I’m going to sing my heart out and not give a fuck if you don’t like it. I just wanted a really good radio pop song, something that could end [1999 rom-com] 10 Things I Hate About You.
