I am 61 years old and basically I am the daddy in that song. I have cursed, cried, and there is no way to reassemble a heart once it is thoroughly and deeply broken. This song made me cry the first time I heard it because it is so true. I'm keeping a straight face and making it but it isn't the same. The rest of you -- don't settle for false promises, pretty faces who are only looking out for themselves and can't understand what you are about -- but when that one exception comes around grab and hold onto it/her/him until your knuckles turn white. It's the only way to make it through and even then it won't be without heartbreak, just a little better because you lived true to yourself.
