They'd ask how I could hate myself this much
It's easy, I'd say, when you're so in touch
With what it means to feel and not to care
Because you've simply had enough of that

And so, they say, life's just not fair
I'm breaking my promise; I'm taking the dare
I'll never know how it feels to miss you so much
And I don't care

I used to kick and scream, before
When mother would make me stay in at night
Take it away, I'd shout to myself
Please take this life away
It's useless and dull
Decidedly, I'm so sick of it all
But what else is there?

She'd tell me to get a hold of myself
So hard, I'd say, when there's nothing to hold onto
And slowly I learned it's easiest not to care
Because I'd simply had enough of that

And so, they say, life's just not fair
I'm breaking my promise; I'm taking the dare
I'll never know how it feels to miss you this much
And I don't care
