    Story Behind the Song
    This one was a nightmare to mix. Recording the song only took a few days, but mixing it took weeks. After well over ten tries, it finally came together. The result was worth it, methinks.

    Lyrics
    well, hit my head and call me shorty
    what just happened here?
    or is it what never happened at all?
    i think it's coming clear
    here i thought that from the start
    i'd wormed my way into your heart
    but . . . nah

    if i thought you felt half as bad
    as i find myself feeling tonight . . .
    but i know you don't feel much at all
    i don't even merit a rise
    cause i'm the has-been that never was
    the number one thing in your life

    i'm just a high-tech
    red-neck
    nervous wreck
    mad as heck
    kinda guy
    i tried my best
    but failed to guess
    how to impress
    midwestern
    kinda guy
    when you gave me that special kiss
    there was something special i must've missed
    now i guess i know why
    'cause i'm the has-been that never was
    the number one thing in your life

    so i guess there's no hard feelings
    at least not out of you
    you're feeling a whole lotta nothing
    and i'm feeling a whole lotta screwed
    you got what you wanted
    and then you got yourself gone
    i gave you everything i could
    and you gave me a yawn

    when i held you near my heart
    did you feel the spark?
    when you tore yourself away from me
    did i even leave a mark?
    or was i the has-been that never was
    the number one thing in your life

    you said, "it meant nothing."
    what you meant was, i meant nothing
    "You meant nothing."
