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
