Brokenhearted Melody

What do men write songs about more than anything?  Women.  Especially the ones who break our hearts or diss us.  Lol!  Ok, so maybe that's not entirely accurate, but you know what I mean.  I'm no exception.  I thought she was down for me like I was for her.  I'm pretty sure she was, but there was some drama and if you know or remember anything about me, know and remember this: I.  Don't.  Do.  Drama.  I just read this one for the first time in years.  Wow.  Happy reading, y'all and thanks for checking me out!

Brokenhearted Melody

y i feel like my world is crumblin’, rumblin’, fumblin’

tumblin’ like a weed thru a ghost town

thought i’d found the love of my life, my wife

and best friend for life, help ease my pain

strugglin’ and strife, then, cut me deep like a knife

i stopped livin’ trife 4 my welfare and cuz i care

about me, you, us and we a family wit mo’ arms

than a Joshua tree, but now i know the joke

was on E-R-I-C i have 2 set you free 2 fly like an eagle

i’m 2 regal a man to blaspheme your name

nevertheless it’sa shame how u done me

spun me and twisted me n2 your web

when all i was doin’ was browsin’ your site

i mite, be a permanent memba of the lonely hearts club

head 2 the studio and set my heart up 2b overdubbed

or dubbed over 2 conceal what i feel on the real this

is a raw deal wit’ no steel to grab on2

thought u was down 4 me like i was 4u

who knew u’d turn your back and put on your cloak

and plunge the dagger into my aorta

what sorta stuff is this, sour like a lemon twist

i missed u and misjudged u at the same tyme

God and rhyme gon’ have 2c me thru

which is what i am with u
