Intro

x 3

Give me mercy and a minute now. I’ma bleed a little poison

out. I’ma cry a little river down, then I’m setting this whole

thing on fire. And I’m burning up the night she died. I’m

putting 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 you’d never be my pain. So here’s 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. She’s the better side of me now.

I’m 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 won’t 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 I’m saying my goodbyes to your

deep blue eyes, cause I don’t 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.
