Well you filled up my head,
With so many lies.
You twisted my heart
Til something snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try
But my give a damn's busted.

You can crawl back home
Say you were wrong,
Stand out in the yard
And cry all night long.
Go ahead and water the lawn.
My give a damn's busted.

I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper.....
Nah...
Sorry....
Nothin'

You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,
I mean, after all you didn't pick em
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.

Well your therapist says
It was all a mistake
A product of the prozac
And your co-dependent ways
So who's your enabler these days?
My give a damn's busted.

I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Nah, still nothin'

It's a desperate situation,
No tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you,
You say your life is through.
Well honey... give me somethin' I can use.
(My give a damn's busted.)
