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
