Mama's Broken Heart
Miranda Lambert Lyrics
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
Don't know what I did next all I know, I couldn't stop
Word got around to the barflies and 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
Hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady 'cause I
Raised ya better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's 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 there's nobody else to blame
Can't 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 make up girl it's, just a break up run an'
Hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady 'cause I
Raised ya 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 and keep 'em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I's and never let 'em see you cry
Go and fix your make up well it's, just a break up run an'
Hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady 'cause I
Raised ya better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

The lyrics just in case you need it:
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
Don't know what I did next all I know, I couldn't stop
Word got around to the barflies and 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 and fix your make up girl it's, just a break up run an'
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 ain't my mama's broken heart
I wish I could be just a little less dramatic like a,

Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches
When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame

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

My favorite lines:
"Don’t matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
"Go and fix your make up, girl, it’s 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 ain’t my mama’s broken heart
"Can’t 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"

Jay Gay
I like how this song is less about the actual breakup and more about the tendency of our older parents to coach us into suppressing our emotions like they were taught to do.
Tammy Yarborough
Exactly!
Aunt Edna
My granny said the same thing. That’s just what men do honey. I can hear her now.😂
KayaAurora420
Played this sing for my mom once. She was always more concerned about her reputation then me. Anyways it didn't go over well. 😂
jenreifu
My mama taught me to let my crazy show, then acts surprised when I do 😂
Sarah Robertson
@sirraf23 A balance is preferable. You notice how over emotional the children of emotionally repressed people are. There's a reason for that
Michell Alexander
This song definitely describes my mama and me. She always handled things like a lady. Only seen her loose it when my daddy died.
Marlee Smith
Same here. My mommy was a real lady. If anything got to her she would not let it be known. She kept her emotions in check even when she was mad. Then there's me, her little princess, with a big temper. When I'm mad or hurting I lash out, I don't care how it makes me look. I tried grinning and bearing it, not my style.
Theseus Cordova
That's rough
