Lyrics
Dear Mary, I'm writing you this letter because I'm tired of talking on the phone. I think it's best if you know that you were right, and your daughter should be left alone, but if it's any consolation, I wasn't the person you made me out to be. I wish we'd see eye to eye. I never wanted us to be enemies. From what I've read in scripture, I've committed no sin. Only a devil such as you would try to do me in. Oh, Mary, I'm sorry for forgetting to obey you in these terrible times. I'd be willing to take punishment, but that would mean that this was a crime. I had a dream a scar was on my face, put there by your soulless touch, but if a wound existed on this aching body, I'd put it there myself. Maybe I was wrong to say "love" too soon, but I'm pretty sure it was. How could you even know? This is what it's all about: control. It's making you feel like you're not in your role. Control is what it's all about. You don't let me open my mouth, so I won't let you open my ears to hear your cries no more, but I will open this broken heart so you can feel like I do. I will open my broken heart and give it back to you.
