Mother, Mary, and Me Lyrics[Verse 1]
I'm letting you know
I'm letting you go
I am leaving it all behind
And I want you to understand why
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm giving up on everything I need
Except my mother, Mary, and me
[Post-Chorus]
Woah
[Verse 2]
I still believe in the love that remains
Like water to wine, like hands shaping clay
But Mary gave life like my mama did
And, when Jesus cried, his mama held him
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still don't know what it's like
To love something more than life
[Chorus]
So, I'm giving up on everything I need
Except my mother, Mary, and me
[Post-Chorus]
Ohh
Ohh-ah
[Verse 3]
Baby, I know, it breaks my heart
Somehow it's worse when it's no one's fault
But, just like the seasons, baby, we've changed
I still believe in the love that we made
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've spent so long on one side
Giving love that just sucks me dry
[Chorus]
So, I'm giving up on everything I need
Except my mother, Mary, and me
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Oh, it'll kill me one day
Either love or the waves
Either love or the waves
[Outro]
Mary, she loved a boy that bled
She turned out the lights, tucked him into his bed
But, right now, I think what I really need
Is to find some of that love and put it back in me
