Thank me for nothing
Thank me for everything
Thank me for the breakfast letter
That you said could've been better

Thank me for the half visible tenement
Thank me for the sake of betterment
Thank me for the flower filled torment
That you said you coulda' paid with pennies of pride

Thank me for the curling iron burns
Thank me for the reeling steel turns
Thank me for the roaring ringing laughter
That you said was nothing but the push of a button

Thank me for the pencil shave early bird specials
Thank me for introducing you to dear old Racheal
Thank me for showing you there ain't nothing to show
That you said was wrapped in a blood splattered bow

Thank me for the books that took you to the final nook
Thank me for the tooth you chipped in the late booth
Thank me forsooth shake you all real loose
That you said you could have done by early noon

Thank me for the grass stain after pains
Thank me for the sass that made your wrists feel lame
Thank me for the ****** historical aftermath
That you said was the bread but not upon a summer

Thank me for the nineteen hour car drive
Thank me for the turn scene under the high beam
Thank me for the burn breathe better see
That you said I was nothing but stubborn and bein' me

Thank me
No
Don't thank me
I've got to get on the go
Back and to the left
For the theft of the heart
Is the worst
As well as
The best
