broken as could be
its plain to see
well aint nobody in the world could be as
broken as me
when I was seven I broke my arm
climbin in the rafters of my pappy's barn
well yes my dear it sure aint smart
but it was nothing like the time that you broke my heart
a broken nail when I was eight
I was diggin a hole I was try'na get outta' shade
the pain was great but it dont even start
to describe the way it felt when you broke my heart
broken as could be
its plain to see
well aint nobody in the world could be as
broken as me
blood flowed fine in an inky red mess
pump sixteen beats with a muscle in my chest
pack the freezer full of my body parts
but it was nothing like the time that you broke my heart
see i was fixing up my supper on a windless day
when the knife slipped fast and cut my fingers away
i could tape 'em back on have 'em reattached
but to hell with my heart its never coming back no
broken as could be
its plain to see
well aint nobody in the world could be as
broken as me
One day I broke my head paying off my debts with a fistful of lead
my bank accounts empty repo men want my car
but the loan I'm repaying is a broken heart
I dropped the gun and fell to the floor
paramedics rushed through and they kicked through the door
but I spit in their face and I walk to the bar
aint no doctor in the world that could mend my heart
broken as could be
its plain to see
well aint nobody in the world could be as
broken as me
last week I broke my jaw well I actually owe the credit that belongs to your paw
his right hook was a work of art but it was nothing like the time that you broke my heart
last night I broke my hand
punching out a cop when I was too drunk to stand
now I'm sittin in the back of a police car
but it was nothing like the time that you broke my heart yeah
today aint my day
but your probably doin okay
tomorrow when they come to bail me out i think you'll say
broken as could be
its plain to see
well aint nobody in the world could be as
broken as me
