(A/N: Set in Steve's POV)
See if I care – Steve
I was walkin down the street last night, not really thinking about much. My dad had kicked me out again. I blinked when I saw you walkin down the same street.
"Evie?" I thought. Yeah it was you alright. There was some guy you were holdin on to tight. He had wavy black hair and midnight blue eyes. I looked in your eyes and saw that same look you used to pull on me.
I saw you walkin' down the street last night
I saw him walkin' by your side
I saw the way he stopped and held you tight
I saw the look in your eyes
Go on and tell him that you love him
Go on and show him he's the one
Go on and give him every sacred thing
That you used to save for us
I stormed past shoving my hands in my pockets. I could feel my fists clenching. I wouldn't let my feelings show. I wouldn't let you see you were tearing me apart. You had moved on just fine I guess. Whatever. Go use some guy as your play toy. See if I care…
"Chorus:" See if I care
Look at the way you're tearin' me apart
Baby, see if I care
Look at the tears fallin' in this heart, baby
Go on, go on, go on
Yeah, go on, go on, go on
And see if I care
I crawl into bed and sigh. I can still hear you whispering in my ear. Saying that you were mine and would never let me go. Whatever. Go ahead and wrap him in your dark web of lies. Your tender promises that never last. Lay by HIS side and run your fingers through HIS hair. See if I care…
I still can hear the way you whisper
Softly in my ear
I lay awake, and I remember
The way it felt to hold you near
Go on and run your fingers through his hair
Go on and lay by his side
Go on and wrap him in your dark surrender
And all your tender lies
I'm walkin
down the street again and see you by his side. You look at me with
those dark brown eyes. You grin and hold him tighter just tryin to
get to me. I smirk and go right up to you and whisper tenderly, "See
if I care…"
