lyrics

My mother told me
That my father fucked her friend
And even though I looked shocked
I stared at the clock
And I knew it was all pretend

I'm in the Tahoe
4 o'clock, he took me to a dead harbor
I've never seen his eyes so red
And when I saw her
Open up the door, and they looked at each other
Then and there, I knew Virgin Mary couldn't care less

I'm sorry, mother

She didn't know it, and as far as I remember
I forgot to bring my jacket
As he walked out of the door that day
I could hear my mother screaming
Her voice continued breaking

"Open your eyes up
You're blind to the cold
I fell for that side of you
Couldn't process it all
Motherfucker
Now I shrug and sit alone
You taught me how to love
And Mary stood beside the altar"

I hear the crows call my name
I'm sorry, mother
I hope you never change
