Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Did you think my life would end that day
That you walked out, when you broke my heart?
Did you think I couldn't make it through
Oh, without you?
Did you think you'd stop my world with goodbye?
Oh no
Did you think I'd crumble inside?
[Chorus]
Not me; I'm still breathing
And this heart of mine is still beating
I, I'm not feeling any pain
No, baby, not me; I'm still breathing
This old heart of mine is still beating
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing
There were times when it took all my strength
To just get through, yeah, through another day
There were so many nights I thought that I was gonna die
Without you
But the tears I cried somehow made me strong, so strong
Did you think I couldn't go on?
[Chorus]
You tried to cut me down
But look who's still around
Without you
Did you think you'd stop my world with goodbye?
No, baby
Did you think I'd crumble, just crumble inside?
[Chorus]
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing
That you walked out, when you broke my heart?
Did you think I couldn't make it through
Oh, without you?
Did you think you'd stop my world with goodbye?
Oh no
Did you think I'd crumble inside?
[Chorus]
Not me; I'm still breathing
And this heart of mine is still beating
I, I'm not feeling any pain
No, baby, not me; I'm still breathing
This old heart of mine is still beating
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing
There were times when it took all my strength
To just get through, yeah, through another day
There were so many nights I thought that I was gonna die
Without you
But the tears I cried somehow made me strong, so strong
Did you think I couldn't go on?
[Chorus]
You tried to cut me down
But look who's still around
Without you
Did you think you'd stop my world with goodbye?
No, baby
Did you think I'd crumble, just crumble inside?
[Chorus]
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing
The tears I cried have dried
You are gone and I survived
I'm still breathing

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
