Analysis of The time to CARE

Regina Magallanes 1987 (United States)



.....Should have taken the Time to Care,
The love once felt's no longer there,
........Should have taken the Time to Care,
Killed something warm, uniqely rare,
..........Should have taken the Time to Care,
My chest left cold and oh so Bare,
............Should have taken the Time to Care.
