Maria lights up the last of the pack, a black nearly burned out cigarette
She swallows a Xanax and rolls her head back, takes a shot and tries her best to forget
As the sun rises over the west coast of Florida she turns away and then she starts to cry
She's got the biggest heart and the sharpest mind, but only tears in those faded eyes
Maria, oh Maria
Can you see me cry?
When your high fades away with the dawn of the day
Did you mean what you said with your head in the sky?
I drive a few miles back to her parent's house and she stands angelic in the light
And every breath we take brings us closer to the end of our night
My heart is racing, my head is pounding, my soul is filled with love
But I know it's a lie, and we say our goodbyes
Cause I don't know if it's her or the drugs
Maria, oh Maria
Can you see me cry?
When your high fades away with the dawn of the day
Did you mean what you said with your head in the sky?
