I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors I screamed his name till the neighbors called
the cops I numb the pain at the expense of my liver
Don't know what I did next, all I know I couldn't stop
Word got around to the bar flies and the Baptists My momma'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
Go and fix your makeup, girl, it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my momma'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 holding the matches when the firetrucks show up and there's nobody else to blame
Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
My momma came from a softer generation Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face
Go and fix your makeup, girl, it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my momma's broken heart
Powder your nose, paint your toes, line your lips and keep them closed
Cross your legs, dot your eyes and never let them see you cry
Go and fix your makeup, girl, it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start acting like a lady
Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my momma's broken heart
