Mama's Broken Heart (Rough Demo)

[Verse 1]

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors

I screamed his name ‘til the neighbours called the cops

I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver

Don’t know what I did next, I just know I couldn’t stop

[Verse 2]

Word got around to the barflies and the baptists

My mama’s phone started ringing off the hook

I can hear her now saying she ain’t gonna have it

Don’t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up

Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady

'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together

Even when you fall apart

But this ain’t my mama’s broken hеart

[Verse 3]

Wish I could be just a little less dramatic

Likе a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames

Leave it to me to be holding the matches

When the fire trucks show up and there’s nobody else to blame

[Verse 4]

Can’t get revenge and keep a spotless reputation

Sometimes revenge is just a choice you gotta make

My mama came from a softer generation

Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up

Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady

'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together

Even when you fall apart

But this ain’t my mama’s broken heart

(Hey, hey)

[Bridge]

Powder your nose, paint your toes

Line your lips and keep 'em closed

Cross your legs, dot your eyes

And never let 'em see you cry

[Chorus]

Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s just a break up

Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady

'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together

Even when you fall apart

But this ain’t my mama’s broken heart
