Lyrics
BROKEN HEARTS, BROKEN MINDS
She gave up on trying to be daddy’s little girl
You can’t compete with work and beer
She set out to try and find her own place in the world
And leave behind the disappointments and the tears
She met him in a downtown bar, she was there to kill some time
Feeling disconnected from her life
He said he’d had a lousy day, he just came in to unwind
Drink a shot of Jack or two and then home to face the wife
They wound up back at her place, they’d wind up there again
It’s easy just to go with what you know
He wound up on her doorstep, he wound up moving in
She never felt the circle close
A broken mind will break a promise every time
A broken past can leave you blind
Broken promises leave broken hearts behind
And broken hearts leave broken minds
Broken hearts leave broken minds
He promised he’d be there for her, and so the story goes
It’s all she ever wanted in her mind
He got a second job to pay the child support he owes
He found another bar to go unwind
Now she sits home at night and watches dinner getting cold
Doesn’t really know why she still tries
Tells her little girl the same thing she was always told
“Daddy will be home soon”, she knows that it’s a lie
She’ll tuck her daughter in tonight and look into her eyes
And wonder why she brought her to this world
And wonder how much time will pass before she’ll realize
She can’t be daddy’s little girl
A broken mind will break a promise every time
A broken past can leave you blind
Broken promises leave broken hearts behind
And broken hearts leave broken minds
A broken mind will break a promise every time
A broken past can leave you blind
Broken promises leave broken hearts behind
And broken hearts leave broken minds
Broken hearts leave broken minds
