Sarai - Mary Anne [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Bring it on back to the young days
When things wasn't so hard

Playing kickball in the school yard
The year before kindergarten
When memories started at the day care

All the little kids used to play there
We had no worries just hated nap time
But fingerpainting and playing tag was fine

And we would all run around
Except for this girl
She stayed in the corner

Yeah her name was Mary Anne
She missed half of the school days
Since the year began
Never wore a shirt that showed
More than her hands

She rockin' jeans & long sleeves
In like 90 degrees
You know lil' kids
They treat her like she got a disease

Came in one day
All her hair was gone
Said her mama cut it off
Cause she did something wrong

Tears in her eyes
When she finally said something
Usually she would get scared
And wouldn't say nothing

[Chorus:]
Days that went by
She had to cry
Wonder why did it happen to me

Day after day
She slipped away
Wonder why did it happen to me

[Verse 2:]
Elementary
She got the seat next to me
Lucky I wasn't mean
Like the rest could be

She treated like an outcast
Wonder how long she could outlast
Being alienated by the whole class

It was still touch and go
With the whole school scenario
In for days
Out for weeks

Still scared to speak
I wonder if that one time she had tried to tell
And the teacher shrugged her off like, "Oh, well"
I wonder if that shut her down

Maybe she had no one to turn to
Maybe this little girl
Didn't know what to do

We had a project one week
Me and Mary Anne a team
So I invited her to my house for ice cream
She banging on the door at the house
Invite her to sit on the couch

She looked me in the eyes
Mary Anne began to cry
I said, "What's wrong?"
She said she wanted someone to tell her why

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 3:]
After that incident
She didn't really want to talk to me
I'd see her in the hall
Call out
But she wouldn't walk with me

Junior high
She got cover up
Caked up
You could see the bruises
Underneath the make-up

Stories to make up
People asking questions now
She breaking down
But still no confessions now

She walk around dazed out
Lost in another land
Spaced out

And as days go by
She grows more distant
Teachers barely aware of her existance
She in and out more out than in

And one day
I'm in class
The ambulance pass screeching
Down by the art room off to the right in the bathroom

They found Mary Anne on the floor
A bottle next to her
Said she took like 50 pills or more
And left a note that said
She couldn't handle it no more

[Repeat Chorus:]
