Mama's Broken Heart Lyrics

Miranda Lambert Mama's Broken Heart

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
