[Verse 1] You were barely more than wine and wonder, I saw the storm before the thunder. You said I stole your youth away— But boy, you begged for me to stay. You call it wrong, I call it real— Don’t blame me for the way you feel. [Verse 2] You played grown man with hungry eyes, But dropped your truth in tender lies. I never promised heart or home, Just made you feel less alone. Now you sing me like a sin— But I was mercy in your skin. [Chorus] Oh Maggie, Maggie— That’s what you’d cry. But I was the woman Who watched you try. You made me myth, You cast me cold— But you were just scared of growing old. [Verse 3] I kept my pride in silk and gin, I danced through days you’d never win. Your song got famous, sure enough— But baby, fame don’t make it love. And every chorus that you play, Still leaves out what I had to say. [Chorus] Oh Maggie, Maggie— You sang me wrong. Your youth was loud, But I was strong. You gave me blame, I gave you grace— And vanished without a trace. [Bridge] One day you’ll see, when your voice cracks too, The woman you lost was ahead of you. You looked for a lesson, but found your shame— So you dressed it up and gave it my name. [Final Chorus] Oh Maggie, Maggie— That’s your lament. But I don’t mourn What you regret. You made a song, I lived the night— And faded like the morning light. [Mandolin Outro] (Still playing, still standing—just not waiting.)

Die andere Perspektive

Maggie widerspricht einer Erinnerung, in der sie allein die Schuld trägt. Die Gegenstimme zeigt, wie unterschiedlich zwei Menschen dieselbe Nähe, dieselbe Nacht und denselben Abschied erleben können.
