Lyrics Maria - Steve Earle

Used to be I was the object of affection
In your eyes alone
But now it seems your heart has found a new direction
And you're leavin' me out in the cold
If you're gonna break my heart go on and break it
No I don't need you no more
I tried so hard and now my will is breakin'
And baby even more
I still love you
I remember when you used to make me happy
Just to look into your eyes
But lately every time I try you're lookin' past me
And I don't know why
So leave me baby, you don't even gotta tell me
I already know
And you don't gotta say goodbye, just walk on past me
I don't want to hurt no more
Not for you Maria
Any way I turn I know could find a better way to lose
I just won't get along with you
Even though I love you too
Ah Maria
I guess mama wasn't lyin' about the dangers
That could hide inside ones heart
We're better off if we just all remain strangers
Stumblin' around the dark
