A parting gift

To remind me of you

A keepsake for all

The things that we'd do

I'll tell you no lies,

I speak as I find

I've got a broken heart

And a messed up mind.

 

You cleared your things

From out of my place

Stood at my door

With a coat and a case

Only two things

That you left behind

A broken heart

And a messed up mind.

 

A broken heart

And a messed up mind

You never said a word

That was loving or kind

My future seems to be

Signed and sealed

A broken heart

May never be healed

 

All my friends told me

I'd get hurt

You'd end up treating me

Less than dirt

Didn't see it coming

I must have been blind

Got a broken heart

And a messed up mind.

 

I worked all week

For a fair week's pay

You'd spend it all

In less than a day

I've got hands that are calloused

And a face that's lined

A broken heart

And a messed up mind.
