Are you aware of what
You make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you
Like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away
Here's what I have to say

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with the lost stare
That's when I decided

Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone

You, you need to listen
I'm startin' to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone
(oh oh yeah)

Am I just some chick
You placed beside you
To take somebody's place?
When you turn around

Can you recognize my face?
You used to love me
You used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok

I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care

'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care

We're not going anywhere
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone

Why should I care
If you don't care then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

    Song Meaning:This song is about a Avril Lavigne trying to "hold on" to a boyfirend that doesn't really love her. Then she decides she has to let go of the boy since he doesn't care about her.

    General Comment:I love this song now, and surprisingly I did when I was 11 and I first heard it! I thought that kinda stuff would have been too hard for me at that age but I just listened to it now and it brought back memories of when I loved it first!
    My favorite part is toward the end when it's like "Why...should I...ca-a-are...cuz you weren't there when I was scared, I WAS SO ALONE" and the then the guitar makes that awesome noise! (You know, the one where you mute the strings on the fretboard by just letting your left hand rest on them, and play the strings?)
