Mary's Breakdown

Little Mary sit and drawin'

Funny pictures on the wall

And thinkin' how good it used to be

Mother couldn't help her

Her father didn't care

What became of Mary

He didn't see

The note lay on the table

The troubled things it said

I'm leavin'

Because there was no doubt

It's been the same old story

Since little Mary's birth

Trouble and you leave

It's still the same

What if you're the one to blame

Little Mary sit and cryin'

Her funny pictures fell

Not old enough to know the reason why

Photo's smile frankly

But still it's not the same

The toys and games of someone else's child

Maybe they'll come tomorrow

Go home to make their own

The wishin' and hopin' never dies

Little Mary's world

Lies shattered on the ground

Sorrow and despair lies all around

No one hears that weeping sound

Maybe they'll come tomorrow

Maybe they'll come today

Little heart is waiting

Waiting for the break

Sister says don't worry

She smiles a friendly smile

But baby, pumpkins splatter

They're going to let you die

Now Mary's world is over

Broken heart, the doctor says

There's nothing more that he can do for her

A little life is ended

The worries are all gone

Memory of Mary lingers there

The note lay on the table

The troubled things it said

I'm leavin'

Because there was no doubt

It's been the same old story

Since little Mary's birth

Trouble and you leave

It's still the same

Slowly little Mary dies

Maybe they'll come tomorrow

Maybe they'll come today

Little heart is waiting

Waiting for the break

Sister says don't worry

She smiles a friendly smile

Mary's pumpkin splatters

They're gonna let her die
