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
