Sweet Marie

Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
 Were we still holding hands when you began to see us from another point of view?
 Tell me was I slipping before I even knew
 Did I fall down and make my mind go black and blue?
 Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
 And why did I have to make those same mistakes
 My sweet Marie
 Did I hit the wall before I knew which way to go?
 Couldn't I just understand when you said no no no no no no no no no no
 Were you deceiving me with conscience white as snow
 You should win an Oscar for how aptly you performed the show
 Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
 And why did I have to make those same mistakes
 My sweet Marie
 I've got so many worries I'm afraid my head will explode
 I'm doing everything to help you get away from this load
 It's hard and complicated but I never learned your code
 Your code
 Your code
 Your fucking code
 (So) Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
 Did I make it impossible for one plus one to equals are two?
 Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
 And why did I have to make those same mistakes
 My sweet Marie
 Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
 And why did I have to make those same mistakes
 My sweet Marie
