I met her once and she talked to me
Shook her head and looked right through me
One ear Bright Eyes red and swollen
Plastic smile and styles all stolen oh
Honey, we all know what's up
Don't think we don't
Just because we can't see the cuts
I read it on her face that morning
Frantic eyes that seemed to warn me
Elevated shaking
Something that she said was making me afraid
So I caught her after class
I said "Just so you know"
"These feelings they will pass"
And she said "Boy go and shove it up your ass"
"Trust me, I am the only thing that will pass"
And she did
I screamed her name into my handlebars as I drove headfirst into cars
But they all seemed to stop
As I lay on asphalt
It's clear that I wound up on top
She'd warned me not to call her Mary
Not to call her anything at all
Kid don't get too attached
She said "Just so you know"
"I'll be gone like"
