Stop Giving a Damn — Lyrics
Dark Americana • TitanChord
Used to care what they’d all say,
Tried to keep my demons tucked away,
Wore the mask, played the part —
Now I just play the blackened heart.
Ain’t here for applause or peace,
I came to break and not to please,
If I’m cold, it’s ‘cause I learned —
The world don’t love what’s unreturned.
I stopped givin’ a damn,
Dropped the weight, let it slam,
No more beggin’, no more bend —
I don’t break, I don’t pretend.
You can talk, you can pray,
I ain’t changin’ anyway,
This is who I finally am —
I stopped givin’ a damn.
Wasted time on “should’ve been,”
But “should’ve” don’t ride in the wind,
I lost folks tryin’ to be right —
Now I lose ‘em by sleepin’ fine at night.
I stopped givin’ a damn,
Let the past burn where it stands,
No rewrite, no grand design —
Just smoke and a clearer mind.
Say I’m cold, say I’m cruel —
But I just quit playin’ the fool,
I got no master, no exam —
I stopped givin’ a damn.
If peace comes dressed like chains,
I’ll take the noise, I’ll take the flames.
I stopped givin’ a damn,
And found out who I really am,
No redemption, no soft hand —
Just the truth and desert sand.
You want calm? I’m the storm.
You want sweet? I was never born.
Keep your rules, keep your sham —
I stopped givin’ a damn.
