Maria: Almost Alive

Everything is backwards
And everything is wrong
Maria

You've taken my life and all I have known
And changed it into something odd
Maria

I saw you fall and I saw you die
Yet I spend most of my waking hours with you
Maria

As I walk the river side
You always stay by my side
Maria

When I'm eating at a table for one
You sit there and stare enviously
Maria

As I undress for a solitary shower
You smirk and giggle and unfeelingly caress
Maria

Even when I lay my head to rest
You lay beside me and ask for something I cannot give
Maria

You jumped into the river
You left behind this life
Maria

I cannot bring you back
I cannot give your ghostly life meaning
Maria

But speak as I do
And the list all the reasons
Maria

You just stare back at me
And be that indecipherable
Maria

Everything is backwards
You are not here
Maria

But every waking moment I have
Is spent with you
Maria
