Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
Were we still holding hands when you began to see us from another point of view?
Tell me was I slipping before I even knew
Did I fall down and make my mind go black and blue?

[Chorus]
Did not know, and could not see
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
My sweet Marie

[Verse 2]
Did I hit the wall before I knew which way to go?
Couldn't I just understand when you said no no no no no no no no no no
Were you deceiving me with conscience white as snow
You should win an Oscar for how aptly you performed the show

[Chorus]
Did not know, and could not see
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
My sweet Marie

[Verse 3]
I've got so many worries I'm afraid my head will explode
I'm doing everything to help you get away from this load
It's hard and complicated but I never learned your code
Your code
Your cooode
Your fucking code

[Bridge]
(So) Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
Did I make it impossible for one plus one to equals are two?

[Chorus]
Did not know, and could not see
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
My sweet Marie

[Chorus]
Did not know, and could not see
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
My sweet Marie
Yeah! (aaaww)
Wooo! (aaaww)
(aaaww)
