"Broken Up" lyrics

"Broken Up"

Usually I'm put together
Most the time I'm fine
Normally I break up better
But, baby, not this time

Yeah, I don't know what to do about it
I'm laying in bed about it (I'm laying in bed about it)
Yeah, I'm tryna keep my cool about it
Get up out my head about it (Get up out my head about it)

But baby, I'm still broken up about it
Yeah, I've had it up to here, had enough about it
Maybe I will open up about it
Yeah, but only if I drink until I'm drunk about it
Lord knows, I wish that I could say that I'll be fine
But, baby, I'm still broken up about it (Baby, I'm still broken up about it)

Yeah, I guess that karma knows my name
'Cause she called me up the other night
Momma always knew just what to say
But now she ain't on my side

'Cause I'm the one to blame about it
I'm the one that messed it up (I'm the one that messed it up)
Yeah, I deserve the pain about it
Wish that I could give you up
But I'm still in love

Yeah, baby, I'm still broken up about it
Yeah, I've had it up to here, had enough about it
Maybe I will open up about it
Yeah, but only if I drink until I'm drunk about it
Lord knows I wish that I could say that I'll be fine
But, baby, I'm still broken up about it (Baby, I'm still broken up about it)

Yeah, time will change but I'll still feel the same
Might take a week, a month, a year
But I'll still feel, I'll still feel the same
Aww yeah

Yeah, baby, I'm still broken up about it
(Still broken up about it)
Baby, I'm still broken up about it
(Baby, I'm still broken up about it)

Yeah, baby, I'm still broken up about it
Yeah, I've had it up to here, had enough about it
Maybe I will open up about it
Yeah, but only if I drink until I'm drunk about it
Lord knows, I wish that I could say that I'll be fine
But, baby, I'm still broken up about it
Baby, I'm still broken up about it

I'm still, I'm still broken
I'm still, I'm still broken
I'm still, I'm still broken
I'm still, I'm still broken

Don't know what to do about it
Still broken up about it
Yeah, I'm tryna keep my cool about it
Baby, I'm still broken up about it
