[Verse 1]

I'm letting you know

I'm letting you go

I am leaving it all behind

And I want you to understand why

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm giving up on everything I need

Except my mother, Mary, and me

[Post-Chorus]

Woah

[Verse 2]

I still believe in the love that remains

Like water to wine, like hands shaping clay

But Mary gave life like my mama did

And, when Jesus cried, his mama held him

[Pre-Chorus]

And I still don't know what it's like

To love something more than life

[Chorus]

So, I'm giving up on everything I need

Except my mother, Mary, and me

[Post-Chorus]

Ohh

Ohh-ah

[Verse 3]

Baby, I know, it breaks my heart

Somehow it's worse when it's no one's fault

But, just like the seasons, baby, we've changed

I still believe in the love that we made

[Pre-Chorus]

But I've spent so long on one side

Giving love that just sucks me dry

[Chorus]

So, I'm giving up on everything I need

Except my mother, Mary, and me

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

Oh, it'll kill me one day

Either love or the waves

Either love or the waves

[Outro]

Mary, she loved a boy that bled

She turned out the lights, tucked him into his bed

But, right now, I think what I really need

Is to find some of that love and put it back in me
