I Had To Learn Not To Care

There was a time when I was close to fame Life was pretty cool, and everybody knew my name Love and applause in every bar I played Oh boy, I knew a little then of how life can change 'Til that day, I was so vain I was all show and all pretend I needed pain to understand And they say Everybody hurts a little sometimes I guess that's when you know you're truly alive I can't blame you, I'd probably also stop and stare If I saw a friend suddenly losing all his hair But instead of wondering if I think it's fair I had to learn not to care I didn't feel like seeing anyone For the longest time, when friends would call, I just ignore my phone And I met a girl so sweet and kind Who was eager to find out what lies behind those eyes 'Til that day, I was so vain I was all show and all pretend I needed pain to understand And they say Everybody hurts a little sometimes I guess that's when you know you're truly alive I can't blame you, I'd probably also stop and stare If I saw a friend suddenly losing all his hair But instead of wondering if I think it's fair I had to learn not to care I had to learn not to care Everybody hurts a little sometimes Guess that's when you know you're truly alive I can't blame you, I'd probably also stop and stare If I saw a friend suddenly losing all his hair But instead of wondering if I think it's fair I had to learn not to care Everybody hurts a little sometimes I guess that's when you know you're truly alive I can't blame you, I'd probably also stop and stare If I saw a friend suddenly losing all his hair But instead of wondering if I think it's fair I had to learn not to care I had to learn not to care But in the end, it's all just hair
