Been about a year since I last talked to you
I never thought that we would ever be through
You smelled so sweet, and you always made me laugh
I always thought of you as my better half
The highs we shared, the scary lows
You were the cure, and the cause of my woes
Hey Mary, now I fare-thee-well
Spent too long under your spell
Laughing echoes, but the joy is gone, the melody fades
So hey Mary, that's why I must move on
Now it's so clear, that I was never in control
Starting to see the colors that you stole
Now the warmth of the sun, the touch of the breeze
Without you I am finally at ease
The highs we shared and the scary lows
You were the cure and the cause of my woes
Hey Mary, now I fare-thee-well
Spent too long under your spell
Laughing echoes, but the joy is gone, the melody fades
So hey Mary, that's why I must move on
