I wrote this song in my youth when going through a divorce with my childhood sweetheart who struggled with addiction. Not to worry, there was no domestic violence. Broken Teacups is simply an analogy for my broken heart. I was happy with this simple bluegrass song, and think it is one many people can relate to in life. In this case, I wrote the music and the lyrics.
Did you find this song relatable?
