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.

[Chorus]
I really want to care,
I want to feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper
Naw
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's 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.

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Just nothin'
No
You've really done it this time (Haha)
My give a damn's busted.
