If you cared, I couldn't tell
But I only ever cared about you
The way it felt like burning hell
When I had to leave without you

But we could not talk without fighting
And we could not sleep without crying

It took leaving to see
How bad you were for me
You're reckless and angry
The longer I'm gone
The happier I am I landed
Empty-handed

If you cared, I'm back on my feet
Living like we never happened
For the weight we'd bear and the blood we'd bleed
We never got close to what we imagined

You can't dig deeper than the surface
You shouldn't have to love on purpose

It took leaving to see
How bad you were for me
You're reckless and angry
The longer I'm gone
The happier I am I landed
Empty-handed

It took leaving to see
How bad you were for me
You're reckless and angry
The longer I'm gone
The happier I am I landed
Empty-handed
