I Wish I Cared written by Polecat
(since I don't know how to keep my italic words in italics, words in the double stars ** are song lyrics)

**To hold me closer or set me free
To trust completely or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what I can see

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared**

The snow is falling heavily, like a plush blanket over the earth.
I stand there, still and frozen, nor from the cold outside but from within my heart.
Tears are sliding down her cheeks, one trying to drop off the end of her nose.
She's begging me. 'Please Pie Eatah, I'se sorry. He don't mean nuttin' to me, jus' you do, only you.'
How many times have I heard that before?
How many times has she told me that before?

I repeat my answer, 'No.'
I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend that everything okay when it's not.
I put all my faith and trust in her, what'd I get in return?
This cold winter night with the one I loved pleading with me.
Begging me, crying not to do this.
The night's cold, but not as cold as me.

'Don't, please, please don't.'
Her words fall on deaf ears, I've stopped listening along time ago.
I stopped listening when she stopped caring.
'I love you.'
And I stopped caring just now.
**To love me truely or let me go
Inbetween I don't want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared**

The snow is gathering ontop on her thick hair, melting when it touches her hot cheeks.
Under the snow fall, everything looks perfect.
Snow can mask all the heartache and misery with it's coat of white beauty.
A beauty stands before me, one who lies and cheats.
She was suppose to love me, she was suppose to be true to me.

I can't just be half loved, it's all or none.
I've known plenty of none, this time I had hoped for all.
'Please, Pie, don't. I'se love ya.'
Wish I believed ya.
Wish I cared.
**Once again, on the station
See your face in a crowd
Comes again the sensation
You can't hear yourself think
With their voices inside your head

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared**

The snow's trying to make me forget, it's coming down much harder now.
Thick and heavy snowflakes fall madly, the sky is cluttered and crowded with each one.
She's still crying though, I can see her red nose and cheeks through the mass of white.
She's cold, shivering so hard the snows can't even stick to her.
For a fleeting second I'm ready to wrap my arms around and take her to bed.
But it's only a fleeting second.

'Pie Eatah, you can't do dis to me.'
'I'se love you more den anyt'ing in da enitire world.'
'I'm so, so sorry, please forgive me?'
'I'll nevah do it again, you have me word.'
'You'se da only one for me.'
How many times have I heard those same lies?
I can't remember because I stopped counting,
When I stopped caring.
**I wish I cared
Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared

Yes I really do
I wish I cared
(Hey) I wish I cared
I wish I cared**

I walk away and leave her alone.
In the cold and in the dark.
I should be concerned as to weather she'll make it home okay in the snow storm.
Only I really don't care.

'Pie Eatah!'
I'm cold inside and out.
'Please don't.'
On deaf ears.
'I love you'
And I wish I cared.
'Cause I really do.
The song is called "I wish I Cared" and it;s by A-Ha, so I don't own the song
Pie Eater belongs to Disney so I don't own him either

This song has been in and out of my head since I heard it on Smallville last week. I really like and have been trying to write it into a song fic. Thank you Pie for my inspiration.
