about

This is an old, old song about a girl who didn't love me like I loved her. Rough.

lyrics

Remember how we used to replace
The “you” in “I love you” with “cake”?
I always thought for goodness sake
Let her be the one who breaks
So I loved cake
But what was your stake?

The local store had cards up on the wall
So we watched “Labyrinth” as the sky went blank
I wanted you so bad the night you stayed
But it was the first time I drank

Don’t feel bad
I wouldn’t want you to
Don’t feel bad you never loved me
Cause I knew

That’s not to say you never cared
You cared enough to cut the cord
When I was cruel as I could be
But cruelty was a luxury
You couldn’t afford
You couldn’t afford

Don’t feel bad
I wouldn’t want you to
Don’t feel bad you never loved me
Cause I knew

Knew you had your way
Way alone to live
Knew you then so I
Can forgive
Can forgive

I met a boy who lost your heart
Now you’re his Amelia Earhart
Thank god we never got the chance to start

Don’t feel bad
I wouldn’t want you to
Don’t feel bad you never loved me
Cause I knew
Yes I knew

Lauren's originals are fantastic, too, but the covers are a great way to fall under her spell. Tommy Wallach

Songwriter Ben Davis (full disclosure: he helped me with my record) combines catchy melodies with crazy sonic meanderings. The rest of the band is tight as an "insert offensive joke here." Tommy Wallach
