lyrics

Mary, I always tried to help you
but I could not protect you
I just played my part

Now you wake up every morning,
never knowing where you're going
Or why this broken heart

Oh, no

Your mother and your sisters raised you
but they never praised you
Or let you sing your song

Now you lie awake and wonder,
As the moonlight pulls you under
What it was that you've done wrong

Oh, no

Once you could have faced it
Once you might have changed
Now you try to replace it
To find another name

Maybe
Some comfort there I gave you
But I could never save you
Or keep you from your fate
When you take your last step falling
I won't hear your siren calling the day you let go of your hate

Oh, no

Once you could have face it,
Once you might have changed
Now you try to replace it
to find another name

Mary,
I always tried to help you
But I could not protect you
I just played my part

Once you could have faced it
Once you might have changed
Now you have to replace
Go find another name
