I’m sure to find true love under angel wings
assured and locked so tight
I know she’s whispering
Alone and savoring
life alone tonight
she’s coming out to greet
a world so won't of light.
Her first time exposed to
the games and bitter ends
Her last time to feel clean
and in broken english, she says,
“I lost everything to one boy who said he was mine,
said he’d hold me forever.”
She’s sitting on my floor and pulling out her hair to ease
that she’s not sleeping again.
This cotton down it feels so much more like home
the memories creep in
she closes both her eyes
She’s walking out into
the night for the first time,
completely unprepared for the thousandth time.
“I lost everything to one boy who said he was mine,
said he’d hold me forever.”
She’s sitting on my floor and pulling out her hair to ease
that she’s not sleeping again.
The first time that I saw those eyes
was the first time that I came undone,
oh Mary look what you’ve done to me.
oh Mary look what you've done
The first time that I saw those eyes
was the first time that I came undone,
oh Mary look what you’ve done to me.
oh Mary look what you've done!
She says,
“I lost everything to one boy who said he was mine,
said he’d hold me forever.”
She’s sitting on my floor and pulling out her hair to ease
that she’s not sleeping again.
I can’t forget this night
another left, another right.
How did I ever get away,
the door was locked
the key unmade.
Out for the last time life ends here,
there is no next time
gas is full;
a vehicle that ends all fear
