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
