mama s broken heart

Miranda Lambert

i cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
i screamed his name til the neighbors called the cops
i numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
i don?t know what i did next all i know, i couldn?t stop

word got around to the barflies & the baptists
my mama?s phone started ringin off the hook
i can hear her now sayin she ain?t gonna have it
don?t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look

go & fix your make up, girl it?s just a break up
run & hide your crazy & 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

wish i could be just a little less dramatic
like a kennedy when camelot went down in flames
leave it to me to be holdin the matches
when the fire trucks show up & there?s nobody else to blame

can?t get revenge & keep a spotless reputation
sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
my mama came from a softer generation
where you get a grip & bite your lip & save a little face

go & fix your make up, girl it?s just a break up
run & hide your crazy & 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

powder your nose, paint your toes
line your lips & keep em closed
cross your legs, dot your i's
& never let em see you cry

go & fix your make up, girl it?s just a break up
run & hide your crazy & 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
