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
