Intro
x 3
Give me mercy and a minute now. Ima bleed a little poison
out. Ima cry a little river down, then Im setting this whole
thing on fire. And Im burning up the night she died. Im
putting every last picture aside, Im gonna say what I need to
say. In my very last letter to you 'Cause you always made it
clear, said youd never be my pain. So heres to you and your
bright baby blues, just a pause to cool the refrain.
And you said were satisfied, that this body just weighted the
tide. And that you missed him sometimes, but you said it's all right, its just a
whole lot harder alone.

Chorus
But I wish you knew her now. Shes the better side of me now.
Im doing the best I can. That's what you'da wanted. And I see
like you were there. I know just how you'd smile. Mary, you
looked just like, it was 1930 that night.
But hear the days will eat you alive, but I wont give in
tonight. You said its not worth my time, and not to regard
them. And not to settle just for piece of mind, I could wait
it out all night, If I just keep breathing [sigh] But Mary,
I found the sound, and if this heart keeps pouring it out,
The glory hasn't come, and it's probably gonna fade, like a
tattoo that hides this shame. But reasons always fade.
The pain gives out some day. So Im saying my goodbyes to your
deep blue eyes, cause I dont know how say, to stay still
in the pain. Stay still in the pain.
Chorus
Interlude
And if I recall the last thing you said to me, before it broke
up. Before it took you from me.
You said I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your
name just escapes me tonight.
