A broken high heel and a torn white shirt
Her fingernails are chipped and they're cradling dirt
Stamp on one hand and blood on the other
After a night of drinking, her and I recover
The two of us lay down and I give her a kiss
But she pulls away, my romance dismissed
She's a burning mess
And I'm drawn to the flame
But things are always better when Mary calls my name
I've known her too long so this will never fly
She says let's stay friends, I still gotta try
She's an enigma, leaves me wanting more
Her past makes the others head straight for the door
But history don't bother me, I don't care about the past
We belong together, the two of us outcasts
She's a burning mess
And I'm drawn to the flame
But things are always better when Mary calls my name
We look at all the castles and drink all night long
Whenever she gets bored I sing a new song
The two of us head home and she spends the night
We start drinking again when we see the sunlight
She looks at me and smiles and I'm hoping this will last
But deep inside I know the best has passed
She's a burning mess
And I'm drawn to the flame
But things are always better when Mary calls my name
