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
Dont know what I did next all I know, I couldnt stop
Word got around to the barflies and the Baptists
My mamas phone started ringin off the hook
I can hear her now sayin she aint gonna have it
Dont matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
Go and fix your makeup girl, its just a breakup
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 aint my mamas broken heart
I 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 and theres nobody else to blame
Cant get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is 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
Go and fix your makeup girl its 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 aint my mamas broken heart
Powder your nose paint your toes
Line your lips and keep em closed
Cross your legs, dot your Is
And never let em see you cry
Go and fix your makeup, well its 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 aint my mammas broken heart
