Lesson 4
“HOW WE DON’T CARE”
“How I Don’t Care” is a song about hiding hurt feelings, which is a barrier to true intimacy. I wrote this song as a young girl. I was always searching for a best friend and was devastated whenever a close friend let me down. I retaliated by appearing cold and detached, in order to protect my wounded heart. Withdrawing love was a weapon; awareness of this pattern in my life was the first step toward change. Currently, I embrace the challenge of being pure and open, and allow myself to gently and honestly express my hurt. I’ve also switched my thinking to “how much I care,” instead of pretending that I don’t. The willingness to change my old habit of suppression has led me to significantly deeper connections. I've learned how important it is to open my heart, even when I'm angry or upset. My passion for music has resulted in many touching friendships with people all over the world. And the most beautiful part is that after years of searching, I finally found a new best friend – myself.

lyrics

HOW WE DON’T CARE

What’s new with you?
It’s been awhile since you’ve told me
I have nothing left to say
It might be too late to give it a try
‘cause now you can’t look me in the eye

I’m doing fine
Although I’m smiling
Inside it isn’t quite the same
I can’t take much more of hiding these tears
it seems my disguise is not what it appears

We try to show how we don’t care
How we don’t feel, how we don’t share
And it’s really nothing new
It just gets harder every time
to say I love you

Sometimes I feel
like this time it’s over
Will this be just a passing storm?
Somehow I wonder if after the rain
Can our love survive this pain?

So what’s on your mind?
Will you cry when you leave me?
Or is it that I’m just crying alone?
I thought that our love I could always count on
Did we wake up to find love has gone?

We try to show how we don’t care
How we don’t feel, how we don’t share
And it’s really nothing new
It just gets harder every time
to say I love you
It just gets harder every time
to say I love you

Judy Unger Los Angeles, California

I have been an artist all of her life. Although I played classical guitar in college, I left music behind when I was 21. 30 years later, I began writing songs to help me cope with the challenges in my life. Many of my songs are dedicated to my son, Jason, who died in 1992. I love to inspire hope of healing with my music, because my songs have certainly healed me of any pain. ... more
