Intro:
Verse 1:
Give me mercy
and I need it now
I'm a bleed a
little poison out
I'm a cry a little
river down and then
I'm setting this
whole thing on fire
and I'm burning up
the night she died
and I'm putting every
last picture aside
I'm gonna say what
I need to say in my
very last letter to
you cuz you always
made it clear
said that you'd
never be my pain
So here's to you
when you cried baby
blues And just paused
a cool to refrain
And you said she
was satisfied
and this body's
just waiting to die
and I could listen
said its alright
its just a whole
lot harder alone
Chorus:
But I I wish you
knew her now
she's a better
side of me now
and I'm doing
the best I can
its what you wanted
and I sing like you
were there and I knew
it was just how you
would smile Mary
you looked just like
it was 1930 that night
Verse 2:
But hear the days
they will eat you
alive but I won't
give in tonight
You said its not
worth my time
and not to record them
And not to settle
just a piece of mind but I
can wait it out all night
(hold)
But Mary I found a
sound and this heart keeps
pouring it out and the
glory has come but its
probably gonna fade like
the tattoo that hides
this shame and the
reasons always fade
and the pain gets
out some day and I'm
saying my goodbyes
deeply wise cuz I don't
know how to say
Stay still in the pain
Stay still in the pain
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro:
If I recall the last
thing you said to me
before we broke up
before it took you
from me and you said
I love you more than
the stars in the sky
but your aliveness
just gets me tonight
I love you more than
the stars in the sky
but your aliveness
just gets me tonight
