Nervous Breakdown

Every morning she woke up at dawn

Kissed her little baby

Then she'd yawn

She'd go to work and school so tired she'd feel

She lost control and circumstance took the wheel

Once upon a time she was

So full of hope

She maintained walking on a tight rope

Then a decade passed

Things stayed the same

Her mind went missing

Just her body remained

Her soul went running to find out if she'd been misplaced

How could I be lost

Stop the world let me get off

No peace could she find

The devil kept messing with her mind

The girl was so tough

But one day she had enough

Pardon the miss she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown

Pardon the miss she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown

Her baby's daddy left

She still got on fine

She fell in love again

But lost one more time

Woe to the day her heart began to decay

She tried to fight

But then her will ran away to lose a dream

Is very hard to live with

Looked in the lost and found

Could not find it

Blessed be the child

God gave her who wipes her tears

Loving the mother

Who's loved him all his years

But she was drowning

And could not come in from out there

Seemed like no way out

Storm and thunder all about

No peace could she find

The devil kept messing with her mind

The girl was so tough

But one day she had enough

Pardon the miss she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown

Pardon the miss she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown

Balancing one minute

Then her rope got too thin

Searching for solid ground

To turn her life around

No stranger to the struggle

She knows how to recover

Won't let the fall do her in

She will stand up again
