I should have seen right from the start that things would fall apart It wasn’t hard for me to spot that you weren’t thinking with your heart That through it all you never felt a thing But thank you for caring enough to pretend to care about me I thought I saw you blink once as you looked into my eyes And the way you fought those tears back when you said that you wouldn’t cry Showed that you were not ill at ease But thank you for caring enough to pretend to care about me You didn’t have to try so hard to pretend With all the little things you told your friends And the way you whispered dear When you knew I wouldn’t think you’d know I’d overhear Most of all I’d like to thank you for that parting shot When you said I’d never meant a thing, well you know that meant a lot It made it all so very plain to see That you still care enough to pretend not to have cared about me

I’m bored by every passing day I don’t expect that you would understand unless you know my mind in dreams I’m half a world away I don’t expect that you would understand unless you’re of my kind here’s to the myth I’m burdened with a headache in my heart, a heartache in my head a dancer on my grave, cadavers in my bed an ink stain on my soul and poison in my pen a headache in my heart again I’m drinking from a dirty cup I don’t expect that you would understand unless you’ve known this doubt the bills are really piling up I don’t expect that you would understand unless you’ve gone without I pretended not to notice everything was going wrong I pretended not to notice but I knew it all along but I knew it all along

about

Gloriously low-tech, deep-soul rock 'n' roll with guitar genius Kjle Risch and longtime friend Dan O'Connell (Angus Tweed, Popcorn). Bargain Basement's classic pop rock leanings are stripped to the bone, rolled around in the dirt and given a loose, rootsy twist. Brimming with spontaneity, passion and humor.
