Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Maria) (Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Maria) Yeah
(Maria) (Don't you hear me callin', Maria?)
(Maria) (Girl, you know you were the only one)
[Verse 2]
How was I supposed to know
That it would cost my soul?
Nothin' is free outchea'
I wanna breathe outchea'
[Verse 3]
And how am I supposed to face
This lonely life I created
Is that the price that I'm payin'?
I wanna feel it
[Verse 4]
All my life, wouldn't give up
Was too young to know the difference
How did I get so low?
When did I turn so cold?
[Verse 5]
Inside of my own mind, I believe my own lies
I'm facing the mirror
Where, where, where is Maria?
Why, why, why don't I see her?
[Verse 6]
I-I just wanna see her
Why, why, why don't I see her?
I-I just need to see ya
Maria (You keep on runnin' away)
[Verse 7]
Now, do you hear it in my voice
That I'm tryna make a choice?
I don't know which way to go
At this crossroads
[Verse 8]
You duct taped my mouth shut
Make me feel worthless, used up
So tired of painting on this makeup
'Cause it won't hide my deep cuts
[Verse 9]
Eyes open, but can't see, mouth open, but can't speak
I'm facing the mirror
Where, where, where is Maria?
Why, why, why don't I see her?
[Verse 10]
I-I just wanna see her
Where, where, where is Maria?
Oh, I just wanna see her
Maria (You keep on runnin' away)
[Verse 11]
Oh, my Lord, oh
Can You take away this heavy load? Oh, oh
I can't carry it anymore, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm callin' an angel, where is my savior?
[Verse 12]
Oh, my Lord
Can You take away this heavy load?
I can't carry it anymore
I'm callin' an angel, where is my savior?
[Verse 13]
(Oh, oh, hear my plea for sympathy)
(I just-a want you here with me)
(Hear my plea for sympathy)
(I just-a want you here with me)
[Verse 14]
(Hear my plea for sympathy)
(I just-a want you here with me)
(Hear my plea for sympathy)
(I just-a want you here, you keep on runnin' away)
[Verse 15]
(Maria) Can you hear me callin'?
(Maria) My whole world is fallin'
(Maria) I can't see ya, oh, I need ya
Don't keep on runnin' away
[Verse 16]
(Maria) Can you hear me callin'?
(Maria) My whole world is fallin'
(Maria) I can't see ya, oh, I need ya
Don't keep on runnin' away
[Verse 17]
(Maria) Don't run away, don't run away, no
(Maria) Don't run away, don't run away, no
(Maria) Don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't run, don't run, don't run away (No)
[Verse 18]
(Maria) Don't run away, don't run away, no
(Maria) Don't run away, don't run away, no
(Maria) Don't ya keep on runnin' from me, don't ya keep on runnin' form me
Don't run, don't run, don't run away (Mari-Mari-Mari-Mari)
[Verse 19]
Maria, don't run away, don't run away, no
Don't run away, don't run away, no
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 20]
Where is Maria?
You know I need ya
Where is Maria?
Mmm, mmm
