Lyrics
Mary she knows
Mary is aware or knowledgeable.
Tomorrow is a lie, just like today
The future is uncertain and deceptive, similar to the present.
19 years old
Mary is 19 years old.
Never felt so alone
Mary feels extremely isolated.
You said it wouldn't be this way
Someone assured Mary that things wouldn't be like this.
Do you ever think of me
Questioning if Mary is remembered or thought of.
Promises told
Promises were made to Mary.
Broken behind the lies
Trust was shattered, concealed beneath falsehoods.
Finds herself in this place again
Mary finds herself in a familiar, painful situation.
30 years old
Mary is now 30 years old.
Broken bones take the blame
Responsibility for the brokenness is wrongly attributed to broken bones.
Cover your shame before Sunday
Hide your disgrace before facing judgment on Sunday.
Do you ever think of me
Repeating the question of being remembered or thought of.
I'm Standing on rooftops screaming your name
Mary is vocally expressing her emotions on a high point.
You never answer it's always the same
No response is received, and the situation remains unchanged.
Do embers kindle old flames
Wondering if past emotions can be reignited.
Mary she knows
Reiteration of Mary's awareness.
She must leave this place
Mary believes she must depart from her current circumstances.
The congregation sings Amazing Grace
A religious gathering sings "Amazing Grace."
Steel feels cold
A reference to the sensation of cold steel in Mary's hands.
Warms in her hand
The coldness warms in Mary's hands.
She will never feel this way again
Mary anticipates never experiencing this pain again.
Do you ever think of me
Repeating the question of being remembered or thought of.
Standing on rooftops screaming your name
Mary continues to express her emotions loudly.
You never answer it's always the same
No response is received, and the situation remains unchanged.
If I stay here, I'll die in my shame
If Mary stays in the current situation, she believes it will lead to her demise with a sense of shame.
I'm standing on rooftops screaming your name
Continuation of expressing emotions loudly on a high point.
Do embers kindle old flames
Questioning if fading emotions can be revived.
