Mary says she wants to sleep She said she'll be alright. She wants to be alone, you know, She needs to think tonight. She wants the pain to ease, oh And just fade away. She can't find any reason to wake up to another day.
Said she's tired of giving And she's tired of living
Oh, now, Mary Hold on.
Mary was just eighteen years When she left her home. She's gonna take on the whole damn world She's gonna make it on her own. Pretty soon she met a man, She said it changed her world. They could be that Bonnie and Clyde Said she'd always be his girl.
Oh, but then the violence started He left the child and parted.
Mary, hold on. Ma-a-a-a-a-ry, hold on.
He's got me falling I'm falling to the other side. He's got me falling. I'm falling. And I won't get back To the end of the last If he keeps on crying, "Mary, Mary!"
Mary was already gone Before the morning light. Friends didn't understand Said it didn't seem right. But I think they already knew They just chose to ignore 'Cause Mary could be anyone She's just the girl next door.
Oh, now, Mary's done with living. I hope she'll be forgiven.
Mary, hold on. Ma-a-a-a-a-ry, hold on. Mary. Ma-a-a-a-a-ry, hold on.
