Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mary, have you seen better days?
And do you find different ways?
And does it really mean that much to your heart?
Carry all of the weight you can, find another man
And lead him directly there to the source
You've got to chart this course
[Verse 2]
'Cause it's only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to start it all again
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
[Verse 3]
Wake up from an elusive dream
You've got to change the scene
It's getting so hard to see the end
Break down all the walls you can
You need a helping hand
I'm sure there's someone there just for you
He's trying to make it too
[Verse 4]
'Cause it's only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to start it all again
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to start it all again
(Na-na-na-na)
[Verse 5]
You can't disregard your friends
But life gets so hard when you reach the end
[Verse 6]
Mary, have you seen better days? (Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days? (Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days? (Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days? (Mary, have you seen better days?)
