I woke up & mary was still gone
Thought if i stopped hurting she would come back
To me
Walk right through the door & say, "ahhh huhhhh!
I was only joking - didn't you look silly crying!"
But i wake up & mary is still gone
I looked at the clock & it was
Still
Lying on the floor exactly where i threw it
Both hands smashed against its silver face
My feeble attempt to stop
Time but time goes on
And i wake up & mary is still gone
Chorus:
Mary was it necessary
To leave before the party
I know it's selfish to say
You always brought the cake now
What will i eat with all these tears?
I looked at the list & saw her name
Kick myself, she never got an invitation
Kid myself, i'm sure somehow she knew
My stupid attempt to find
Some way to move on
But i wake up & mary is still gone
Mary is still gone
