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
