know you tried to tell me
You said she'd break my heart
If I'd only listened then
I might not fall apart
She had too many stories of love
And things gone wrong
I'd be just another and
She knew it all along
You're breaking my heart, Marianne
And I can't understand why
That's just what you planned
You're killing my soul, Marianne
Now I can't even stand
But I'll take your commands, Marianne
I knew of souls she murdered
I knew some of her lovers
I could see so clearly that
I'd end up like the others
I watched it like a movie
She had it down so sweetly
She caught my eye and took
My heart and broke it so completely
You're breaking my heart, Marianne
And I can't understand why
That's just what you planned
You're killing my soul, Marianne
Now I can't even stand
But I'll take your commands, Marianne
If you knew these things
How could you let me fall
I could have just hung up the phone
The first time that she called
My heart is nearly frozen
I know it's such a waste
I'll forever suffer
All because of just one taste
You're breaking my heart, Marianne
And I can't understand why
That's just what you planned
You're killing my soul, Marianne
Now I can't even stand
But I'll take your commands, Marianne
