A broken neck

she said she'd prefer a broken neck to another broken heart,

i say at least shes being honest,

no telling where her heart is,

maybe she's already lost it,

maybe it's trying to mend itself so she can

finally start to love again.

she'd rather have a broken neck.

those words are like knives to my ears,

knowing exactly how many tears

it took to come to that conclusion.

all the sleep she should'nt have been losing,

catching up with her now,

makes her regret it all

and somehow

it's her fault.

she'd rather have a broken neck

yeah, that sounds pretty accurate,

might be years before she can live again,

but her quick window of happiness

was worth it.

as much as she deserves it

she needs peace within herself,

she said she'd prefer a broken neck to another broken heart,

and we all know how that starts,

just a few words that left her scarred,

shes a diamond in the rough

waiting for someone to pick her up

now its hard for her to trust and even harder for her to love.

she'd prefer a broken neck..

Again --- here the lines speak much...almost has a lyrical style with its presentation...I had to break it down...to get the full extent...the words themselves speak for the verse...if you work at this a bit more...it can have a country song feel to it...
