"I wouldn't look back," you said
How was I to know the floor hurt me so?
My next show up ahead
And I broke my behind
How will I go?
And you didn't hear
All that pain through my tears
All the work through the years
Did you know, still I fell down somehow?

Chorus
From the heart of my broken bottom
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
That was my first fall,
That was my last fall,
From the first crash until I finally rose
From the heart of my broken bottom
Even though time may make it as good as new
It was a true pain
I never knew pain
'Til there was this
From the heart of my broken bottom

"Baby," I said, "please stay,"
"Don't leave me here all alone in my pain."
You could have helped me out
Taking time is what a star's all about
So why did I fall
As to ruin it all
And I'm back where I started again
With a broken rear end

Chorus

You promised that I
Would feel better in time
And you sounded so perfectly sure
Wish it didn't occur

Chorus

"I wouldn't look back," you said
How was I to know the floor hurt me so?
