lyrics

Pick up the pieces and put them back together again, Mary says she’s grown weary of all that.
All these changing faces but nothing else ever seems to change.
“One of these days I’ll grow wise to their game.”

Driving down 19 in the middle of the day,
can’t help but question her decision to stay.
Self-medication, waste the evening hours away. Wake up in the morning to another hurry, worry day.

Pick up the pieces and put them back together again, “Christ, just look how time flies by.”
Feeling none the wiser, by this game she’s been played. It’s a never-ending fight that no one sees.
