Oh July It's better off since April died I can see September through the trees And I can't lie There's more to know than what's inside Maybe there's some reason in my memories But all I know It's easier to love you when I'm gone But it's hard for me to leave I don't know This anger isn't helping anyone And I don't know what I need Oh St. Marie Close my eyes before you leave So I don't have to look at you in shame Oh St. Marie Take my hand and give me peace 'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same Here come the broken hearts Just as the music starts One by one they testify I never did enough I never cared enough Even though I stood, I always ran away We all wonder why It's easier to blame the ones you love 'Cause it's harder to believe
That we fall sometimes No matter how I try, I've given up But now I have a chance to be Oh St. Marie Close my eyes before you leave So I don't have to look at you in shame Oh St. Marie Take my hand and give me peace 'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same Sometimes the quiet ones Are all I want to be There's only so much left The rest is up to me You're all I'll ever want I hope you feel it 'cause As far as I'm concerned You're exactly what I need Oh St. Marie Close my eyes before you leave So I don't have to look at you in shame Oh St. Marie Take my hand and give me peace 'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same 'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same 'Cause I don't think I'll ever be the same
