SHE BROKE ME
words: Kerry Murray
music: Bert Erdmann, Kerry Murray
Mother said when I was young she’d keep me free from sin
But every time she’d look away I’d bite the apple again
I’d try to hide my dirty knees to steer clear of her wrath
She always saw right through the leaves and drug me to the bath
It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long
And I believed that she must be completely wired wrong
And looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see…
She broke me, of all my mortal sins
She broke me, and made me clean again
She broke me, of nonconformity
She broke me, but I just could not agree
I took a wife, the kind of girl that momma warned about
She took me far away from home and made me twist and shout
I thought the scales from my eyes so I could finally see
But all I really saw as just how blind a boy can be
It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long
And I believed that my friends were completely wired wrong
And looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see
She broke me, of all my hopes and dreams
She broke me, of happiness it seems
She broke me, of any self-respect
She broke me, well what did I expect
All alone without a cause I thought my life was through
Pieces scattered everywhere and that’s when I met you
You kept me from the epilogue at the bottom of the hill
With dozens of blank pages for the two of us to fill
It’s funny how it really didn’t take all that long
And I believed that I must be completely wired wrong
But looking back it isn’t hard for anyone to see…
She broke me, of my feelings of self-doubt
She broke me, and showed me what life’s about
She broke me, of thinking of the end
She broke me, and put me back together again
