Mama’s Broken Heart Song Lyrics by Miranda Lambert
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissorsI screamed his name ’til the neighbours called the copsI numbed the pain at the expense of my liverDon’t know what I did next, all I know, I couldn’t stop
Word got around to the barflies and the BaptistsMy mama’s phone started ringin’ off the hookI can hear her now sayin’ she ain’t gonna have itDon’t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
Go and fix your makeup girl, it’s just a breakupRun and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady‘Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it togetherEven when you fall apartBut this ain’t my mama’s broken heart
I wish I could be just a little less dramaticLike a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flamesLeave it to me to be holdin’ the matchesWhen the fire trucks show up and there’s nobody else to blame
Can’t get revenge and keep a spotless reputationSometimes revenge is a choice you gotta makeMy mama came from a softer generationWhere 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-upRun and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady‘Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it togetherEven when you fall apartBut this ain’t my mama’s broken heart
Powder your nose, paint your toesLine your lips and keep ’em closedCross your legs, dot your I’sAnd never let ’em see you cry
Go and fix your makeup, well it’s just a break-upRun and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady‘Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it togetherEven when you fall apartBut this ain’t my mamma’s broken heart
