Maria Lyrics by Mat Musto

Year of the Blackbear (Reissue)

2011

[Verse 1]
Maria was born in The Valley, she wants to be a superstar
She says she wants to move to California as soon as she gets her car
Maria likes going to parties, she hangs out with the popular crowd
She says she doesn’t mind if I stay with her tonight, but I ain't messin' around
[Chorus]
And I can’t be your savior, I can’t save you from yourself
But stay with me, I swear, baby, we’ll be fine
We’ll be fine
[Verse 2]
Maria got caught up in substance, problems that made her beg
And she said, “Sometimes, I hate my life, sometimes I think I’m better off dead”
Maria didn’t know who to turn to, I guess that’s why she turned to me
Said, “I can’t be your hero, but I can try my best to be the man of your dreams”
[Chorus]
And I can’t save you from yourself
Stay with me, I swear, honey, we’ll be fine
We’ll be fine, fine
[Verse 3]
Take these pills and get some rest and call me in the morning
Maria, please don’t give me up, this is only the beginning
Maria, will you wait for me?
Maria, will you wait for me?
[Chorus]
And I can’t be your savior, and I can’t save you from yourself
But stay with me, I swear, honey, we’ll be fine
We're gonna be alright, fine
And I can't save you
