You grew up alone in a big empty house
With a pool and a maid, mom and dad always out
And I always thought that you had it so good
Just imagine my surprise when they blew off the roof
And I couldn’t be more careless
You’re probably dead and I’m just embarrassed
From out of of the fire and into a flame
When you got to skinny you moved to LA
Just a regular city dropped from a great height
And the millions inside just along for the ride
Well I couldn’t be more careless
You’re probably dead and I’m just embarrassed
To be the one who always had it nice
With not a clue and too much advice
Well I’ll let you live your life, you let me live mine
So whatever you need it’s just fine, it’s just fine
You’ve been here before, probably be back again
Till the hair of that dog is too frayed at both ends
And I couldn’t be more careless
You’re probably dead and I’m just embarrassed

It takes a Glen Phillips penned Toad backed tune to so enigmatically describe every other breakup you've had.
This just never gets old.
