Josephine

Her veins, they run like tracks all across her skin She used to be an angel, but she traded that for sin And when she fell from grace, she fell far, she fell hard The holes in her soul match the holes in her arms She tells me she loves me, but only when she's high I'd hate to see her go, but couldn't leave her if I tried So I'll just stay here by her side And I'll hold you in my arms so damn tight Wondering to myself, will we make it another night? As you look up at the ceiling with a cold stare in your eyes I can see your fate, and I can see you're losing the fight And oh, my sweet Josephine Oh, how I wish you could see How you're killin' yourself And how your habits were hurtin' me Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine We had our whole lives to look forward to But you threw it all away for a needle and a spoon And I know your stone will read "A girl gone too soon" We laid you in the ground today with a calm upon your face I kissed you one last time before he laid you in your grave You were my girl, my girl that slipped away And oh, my sweet Josephine Oh, how I wish that you could see How you were killin' yourself And how your habits were hurtin' me Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine Oh, Josephine Come back to me, Josephine I'm begging you, please Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine Oh, how I wish you would have seen You were killing yourself Now your habits have killed me Oh, my sweet, sweet Josephine Oh, Josephine Sweet Josephine
