[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

[Verse 1]
Can't find it in the bible, can't find it on TV
Can't find it in diamonds, there's something inside me that just won't allow me
To find it in music, can't find it in my soul
Can't find it in chocolate, oh babe, I can't hide it, I can't even find it in you

[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

[Verse 2]
There's no way she can kiss you the way that I do
I heard that you miss me, oh you should be careful of who you keep talking to
Long nights without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my losses, think no more about it cause I couldn't find it in you

[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

[Bridge]
There was a time I thought I'd die
If you should ever leave me high and dry
And you don't want me any more
It's time to settle the score

[Chorus]
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my tether I've torn all your letters up
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore
I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of my rope and it's time that I told you so
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

[Outro]
It's time to settle the score

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
