I Don’t Care If You Bought That Ring

• Read 'I Don't Care If You Bought That Ring'

  OK, it’s a breakup song. I think it’s rather catchy

  I don’t care if you bought that ring

  I don’t care. It don’t mean a thing.

  You think you earned yourself a free ride

  There’s crazy crawlin’ your insides

  Ride it high on your platform Joe

  Tell everyone that you know

  How I wrecked your heart and wrecked your bed

  Left you with nothing but what wasn’t said

  And I’m not coming back

  The train’s done jumped the track

  This damn thing failed

  This ship has sailed

  And I’ve already packed

  I don’t care if you bought that ring

  I don’t care. It don’t mean a thing

  We said “forever” but it was just me

  That meant those words - wasn’t hypocrisy

  Go on down the road - I’ve had just enough

  Sell someone else on your bullshit stuff

  It don’t matter now – the stories that you tell

  They’re about to take you on a trip through hell

  And won’t let you back

  I’m done giving slack

  Your words are lies

  Nothing but alibis

  And I don’t owe you jack

  I don’t care if you bought that ring

  But don’t think you can take it from me

  You didn’t buy me with your gold and charm

  All you ever did was cause me harm

  I’m don’t want more of your fake affection

  Time to make a course correction

  I should’ve gone a long time ago

  But the light is on and now I know

  That I’m not coming back

  The train’s done jumped the track

  This damn thing failed

  This ship has sailed

  And I’ve already packed
