you say I don't care
not "carefree" ...apathy.
well, maybe you're right
tell me, how am I supposed to be?
Say I don't try
and I say to you, why?
You've got to know that there's light
to tunnel.
maybe I want to
maybe it'd be good
maybe I'd choose
if I had something to lose
maybe I'd care
if maybe you would be there
and you wouldn't accuse
if I had something to lose
you say I'm a loser
waste of space
good for nothing
why not say
hey, here's something,
seek you'll find.
help me with point B,
give me eyes that can see
because now
obviously,
I'm blind.
maybe I'd want to
maybe I'd be good
maybe I could choose
give me something to lose
maybe I'd care
if maybe you would be there
and you wouldn't abuse
and I had something to lose
teach me to fish and I'll eat for a lifetime,
but sometimes,
I don't even know I should eat.
Give me a pole and your best fishing hole
give me a hunger
to not go under
give me a why
it's worth it to try
tell me the payoff for paying my dues,
and then you will give me something to lose.
maybe I'll want to
maybe I'll be good
if I then understood
I've got something to lose
maybe I'll care
maybe you'll be there
making me aware
I've got something to lose.
