Since You Don't Care
Embracing Emptiness: Sylvie Vartan's Poignant Tale of Abandoned Love
Lyrics
Arms that used to hold you
Arms that were once embracing you closely
So close to me
Being physically near and intimate
Arms that had to open, oh
Arms that had to release you and let you go
And set you free
Allowing you the freedom to leave
Arms that used to reach
Arms that used to extend towards you and reliably find you
And always find you there
Finding comfort in your presence
Are just two empty, two empty arms
Now they are just two empty arms
Since you don't care
Due to your indifference or lack of concern
Eyes that used to light up
Eyes that were brightened by your presence
When you walked by
When you were around
Eyes that never knew
Eyes that never experienced sadness
What it meant to cry
Unfamiliar with the feeling of crying
Eyes that watched you walk away
Witnessing you leaving and abandoning
And left me standing there
Leaving the singer alone
Are just two cry-crying eyes
Now they're just eyes filled with tears
Since you don't care
Because you no longer care
Lips that used to talk
Lips that used to communicate and make plans together
And plan a future for two
For a shared future
Lips that used to kiss
Lips that were exclusively kissing you
You only, you know
Only you
These lips were true
These lips were loyal and honest
Lips that used to smile
Lips that used to smile before parting from you
Before they kissed you good-bye
Before saying goodbye
Are just two silent, silent lips
Now they're just silent lips
Since you don't care
As a result of your lack of care or consideration
These empty arms
These arms that are now empty
These crying eyes
Eyes filled with tears
These silent lips
Lips that are silent
Are all so lonely
All of these are feeling lonely
Since you don't care
Due to your lack of care or concern
