Give me mercy and a minute now
I’ma bleed a little poison out
I’ma cry a little river down
And then I’m settin’ this whole thing on fire
And I’m burin’ up the night she died
I’m puttin’ every last picture aside
I’m gonna say what I need to say
In my very last letter to you
‘Cause you always made it clear
Said that you’d never be my pain
So, here’s to you, and your bright baby blues
And just a pause to cool the refrain
And you said you were satisfied
And not just body just waitin’ to die
And that you missed him sometimes, but you said it’s alright
It’s just a whole lot harder alone
But I-I wish you knew her now
She’s a better side of me now
And I’m doin’ the best I can
It’s what you wanted
And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you’d smile
Mary, you looked just like
It was 1930 that night
But here the days will eat you alive
But I won't give in tonight
You said it's not worth my time
And not to regard them
And not to settle just for peace of mind
I can wait it out all night
If you'll just keep breathin’
But, Mary, I found the sound
And his heart keeps pourin’ it out
And the glory hasn't come, and it's probably gonna fade
Like a tattoo that hides the shame
And the reasons always fade
And the pain gets out some day
So I'm sayin’ my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes
‘Cause I don't know how to say
Stay still in the pain
Stay still in the pain
But I-I wish you knew her now
She’s a better side of me now
And I’m doin’ the best I can
It’s what you wanted
And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you’d smile
Mary, you looked just like
It was 1930 that night
And 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 name just escapes me tonight"
“And I love you more than the stars in the sky
But your name just escapes me tonight”
