Lyrics

I don't know how to care about you

Any more than I do, do, do, do

Expressing maximum effort in caring, emphasizing the inability to do more.

And I can't make you love me

Acknowledging the inability to force someone to love, respecting their autonomy.

Any more than you do, do, do, do

Highlighting the mutual nature of love and the limit to influence it.


And you don't even try

Repetition emphasizing the subject's lack of effort or initiative in the relationship.

You don't even try

-

You don't even try

-

You don't even try

-

I have changed my whole life for you

Indication of significant personal sacrifices made for the subject.

And what do you do, do, do, do?

Questioning the reciprocation of effort from the subject.

And I can't make you love me

Any more than you do, do, do, do

Emphasizing the mutual responsibility for the level of love in the relationship.


And you don't even try

You don't even try

You don't even try

You don't even try

I don't know how to care for you

Any more than I do, do, do, do
