[verse]
Mary, I’m trying to write you a song
I want to be how I feel
One that has no jurisdiction
One that is definitely real
One that talks about how much I love you
One that talks about how much I care
One that talks about all the things
One that wishes you were still there
But I can’t write a song that sounds so right
No matter how hard I try
I can’t write a song, that does you justice
And one that doesn’t make me cry
So here I am now
Here I am today
Here I am wondering
Will I ever find a way?
You hate me so much
And I don’t know why
No matter what I do
No matter how hard I try
All I know is that I know
Is there still something there?
Something that’s itching us
Something that says we still care
It seems you have moved on
It seems that you’re far away
It seems everything’s gone
It seems it’s the only way
Tomorrow can’t be today
And today cannot be tomorrow
So here I am making music
But I still feel the sorrow
One day I hope I can get it right
One day I hope we can fix the wrong
One day I hope you hear me
One day I hope you hear my song
I’m not asking you to say I’m right
I’m just looking for a better way
One where we don’t argue
Instead hope for a better day
I can’t say this enough
How I feel about you
I just hope you listen
And know what is true
I fucked up and I made a mess
But I was a child back then
Only three years older
But I can’t pretend
Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow.
Hate me whenever you may feel sorrow
I really wish you’d give me a chance
I wish you’d let me have this final dance
You’ve made it very so very clear
That you don’t like who I am
You won’t even shed a single tear
But you don’t know me as a man
