Hail Mary

I placed a candle, but my lover's [?]
Join my hands expecting a miracle
She left me instead

When I asked if my hand had untied the knot
She said, "don’t be foolish, I don't mind at all"
"I love him not"

Don't lie again until our lives have changed
And it’s better now than it has ever been
Your words can hurt and hurt they do
Enjoy your triumph, and let me beg you on my knees
Hail Mary
Hail Mary

The words we used then don't mean much to me
Words like swear, love, and eternal soul
Oh, we were born free

You haven't changed much, or so I've been told
But the warmth of the skin that I loved to touch
Has now turned to cold

Don't lie again until our lives have changed
And it's better now than it has ever been
Your words can hurt and hurt they do
Enjoy your triumph, and let me beg you on my knees
Hail Mary
Hail Mary
