about

This is a "my woman done me wrong" from the point of the woman who done the wrong.

Broken Wand

I thought that I would do better,
The day I set you free.
I had my eye on someone else,
When I cast you away from me.

We had worked so long and so hard,
To make our love so true.
I assumed it would be easy,
To love again with someone new.

A broken wand won’t mend my shattered heart.
A broken wand is not the place to start,
A broken wand won’t weave a love that’s true.
A broken wand won’t bring me back to you.

At first just guy that I knew,
I flirted guiltlessly.
Then it went on and on some more,
I thought he saw the real me.

While we were having to work hard,
Our time together blue.
He was my relief from our life,
Then, as a couple we were through.

A broken wand won’t mend my shattered heart.
A broken wand is not the place to start,
A broken wand won’t weave a love that’s true.
A broken wand won’t bring me back to you.

He promised me his love was true,
Forever in his heart.
But after I declared for him,
That’s when it all fell apart.

As a temptress I was tempting, as a girl friend I was not.
He said I was now boring; not any kind of hot.
I called him a damn bastard, I went on the attack,
Fun words to say in the moment, not words to win him back.

I know that you have someone new,
You treat each other well.
I cry at night; I try to sleep.
You have broken off from my spell.

A broken wand won’t mend my shattered heart.
A broken wand is not the place to start,
A broken wand won’t weave a love that’s true.
A broken wand won’t bring me back to you.
Back to you.
Back to you.
Back to you.
Back to you.
