Marie
OSKAR O. Lyrics

I woke up this morning To see my angel wings Tangled in a string
Upon waking up, I noticed my wings, which represent my freedom and purity, being held back by something that is tying me down.

They once stretched and spread Cross the city, like a king I could have been your king
My wings used to give me the strength and authority to rule my life like a king, but now they're tied down, and I can't live up to my full potential.

Marie, Marie Marie I'll greet you just as well I hear your name marie It sings like funeral bells
The mention of your name, Marie, reminds me of the sadness and loss associated with funeral bells, but I still greet you with the same love and respect.

Goodbye, Marie I'll miss u in my sleep Hear you crying in my dreams
Even though we've parted ways, I still miss you in my subconscious and hear you expressing sadness in my dreams.

Tell me, Marie When did you start keeping score? Don't feel what I felt before
I feel like you're keeping track of the mistakes and shortcomings in our relationship, but please don't hold onto the past emotions that I have moved on from.

Marie, Marie, Marie Won't let you know marie You'll never know the hole you left in me Marie marie
I won't tell you about the void you left in my heart, Marie, and you'll never be aware of the depth of hurt you've caused me.

I said I adore you I know love scares you away I wanted you to stay
I expressed my love and admiration for you, but I understand that your fear of love pushed you away from me, and I still wish you would have stayed with me.

Said there's nothing more You could do for me then lay Let me tell you it's okay
I don't blame you for the end of our relationship, and I know you did everything you could, so please don't feel guilty, because I forgive you.

Marie, marie marie I'll greet you just as well I hear your name marie It sings like funeral bells
Once again, Marie, the sound of your name brings to mind the feeling of grief and tragedy, but I still welcome you warmly.

Goodbye, Marie I'll miss u in my sleep Hear you crying in my dreams Tell me, Marie When did you start keeping score? Don't feel what I felt before
This chorus repeats earlier lines from the song to reinforce the sentiment of loss and heartbreak and to plead with Marie not to hold onto the past.

Marie, Marie, Marie Will let you know Marie You'll never know the hole you left in me Marie, Marie Marie, Marie, Marie I let you down Marie I tried my best to be enough But I'm not him you see Marie (I loved, I loved you Marie) More than enough for me Marie (More than enough) More than enough Marie
In this final passage, I express regret for letting you down, Marie, and failing to be everything you needed, but I also want you to know that my love for you was more than enough, even if it wasn't enough for you.
