[Verse 1]

Oh, my heart can't carry much more

It's really really aching and sore

My heart don't care anymore

I really can't bear more

My hands don't work like before

I shiver and I scrape at your door

My heart can't carry much more

But you couldn't care less, could you?

Your face don't look like before

It's really not like yours anymore

Your eyes don't like me no more

They quiver and they shift to the floor

My heart don't beat like before

It's never been this slow

No, my blood don't flow anymore

And you couldn't care less, could you?

[Chorus]

Could we stop and sleep for a spell

We can turn this ditch into a well

And send that old devil back to hell

But we really don't care, do we?

Baby, let's stop and sleep for a spell

We can turn this ditch into a well

And send that old devil back to hell

[Verse 2]

Your back's not straight like before

You really shouldn't carry me no more

I'm much too heavy for you

I'm really quite a mess, yes

We just don't care anymore

We're crooked and we're cut to the core

We're just not there anymore

But we really don't care, do we?

[Outro]

No, we couldn't care less

We couldn't care less

Could we?
