I Am Mary Lyrics - Love Remains - Alice Peacock

I am Mary, I was pretty 

You may remember me from the ninth grade 

The boys would hold me 

And my friends told me 

The world would know me someday 

I've made choices, heard some voices 

Fought the battles inside my head 

Life's a fabric but when I grabbed it 

All I got was a handful of threads 

There's a stairwell, I know so well 

'Cause it gets cold out in the street 

A crumpled dollar to start a fire 

So that I could warm my feet 

Police stations, investigations 

Of a fire burning bright 

They showed me pictures 

Of those children 

And told me I was there that night 

Conversations, medications 

All my friends have left me now 

No one could see them 

But now I need them 

To help me figure all this out 

Why do they feed me 

Give me TV 

And a blanket for my feet 

But something's workin' 

'Cause it starts hurtin' 

When it all comes back to me
