Oh Josephine, I wish you'd tell the world
That you're crying, that you're dying
I needed you to help me feel like I was my own man
That was the plan
All this pain you tried to hide
They warned us that you'd surely die
Oh Josephine, you're in the sky
You live this life so in disguise
Oh Josephine, I wish you'd show the world
That you're hurting all the time
I needed you to help me know that I could always stand
On my own feet
All this pain you tried to hide
They warned us that you'd surely die
Oh Josephine, you're in the sky
You lived this life so in disguise
Oh Josephine, I wish you'd show the world
That you're hurting all the time
Oh Josephine, I should have prayed before you left the earth
