Alphabet soup, it was alphabet soup
which learned me to talk, when that was all i could do
which turned one complication into the next
gave me more confusion than i'd ever expect
And i never got better, never got worse
i told my stories that you'd never heard
and i snap the doors from the hinges
i pull the pictures from the wall
i knock back a bottle, and i'll give you a call
But we get lost in the alphabet, who knows why
as long as you know i did seriously try
but you know it's just a heartbreak soup for me
aah you know i'm living in a heartbreak soup
Everyone on the level i sat in the high chair
i learned my lesson early, that life's never fair
spaghetti and ketchup, pizza and chips
i stared at my reflection dancing the words on my lips
And i never got better, i never got worse
i made up stories that you'd never heard
and i snap the doors from the hinges
i pull the pictures from the wall
i knock back a bottle and i'll give you a call
but you know, it's only heartbreak soup for me
and i know you think i'm living free
but you know, it's just a heartbreak soup for me
knocking back heartbreak soup, oh yeah
i'm living in a heartbreak, heartbreak soup
Ah goodnight mr. money, goodnight mr. moon
i'm hanging on with my big fat spoon
knocking back heartbreak soup
heartbreak soup, heartbreak soup
