Don't Make Me Cry

My grandma got her heart broke when she was 25
My father got divorced, so my mama cried all night
I'm open with you, but I'm usually closed
A history lesson, just letting you know
I've fallen for you, I'm afraid I could choke

So, lover, please take heed and do what I need
Don't make me cry

I come from a heartbreak lineage
Happy endings, always limited
And the meaning of forever's twisted around
It's all upside down
I come from a heartbreak lineage
Generational fake promises
And the meaning of forever's deep in the ground
It's all upside down

You don't deserve the cargo, I know you'll love me right
But I'm too used to the downfall, I've seen it every time
Till you do us part, 'cause I certainly won't
I'm breaking the curse that has broken my home
I've fallen for you, it's a feeling unknown

So, lover, please take heed and do what I need
Don't make me cry

I come from a heartbreak lineage
Happy endings, always limited
And the meaning of forever's twisted around
It's all upside down
I come from a heartbreak lineage
Generational fake promises
And the meaning of forever's deep in the ground
It's all upside down

What if I said the problem could lie in the part
Where they weren't therapized?
Some good advice, so it lasts all your life
Don't say "I do" if you know it's a lie

So, lover, please take heed and do what I need
Don't make me cry

I come from a heartbreak lineage
Happy endings, always limited
And the meaning of forever's twisted around
It's all upside down
I come from a heartbreak lineage
Generational fake promises
And the meaning of forever's deep in the ground
It's all upside down
