You Broke My Brain Lyrics

I was a child prodigy; just got my first Ph.D
I could solve bicubics in my sleep
I used to be the teachers pet up until the day we met
Now, I'm far too shallow 'cause I fell in love too deep

I used to think I had it all; now I hardly think at all
Oh, you broke my brain
I used to ponder and reflect; but, now, my cerebellum's wrecked
Oh, you broke my brain

I won the state boy genius crown from Encyclopedia Brown
There was not a book I hadn't read
I studied Hegel and Descartes back in the days when I was smart
But, now, I've found a better thing to do than read in bed

I used to cogitate and think before you made my IQ sink
Oh, you broke my brain
I used to be head of my class, but, now, I just think of your ass
Oh, you broke my brain

I thought it was a sprain, but I was wrong
I'm gonna be in pain before too long
And, so, here's the refrain to my new song:

My erudition knew no end; Now, I can barely count to ten
Oh, you broke my brain
My genius was second to none, but, being stupid's much more fun
Oh, you broke my brain

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
