Dear Jane

The darkest hair and the darkest eyes
So many secrets bottled up inside
Jane, I wish you had let me know
Before you ran away from home

I was in high school doing fine
Then Joe got stabbed while on a high
And I was halfway to Niagara Falls

Dear Jane, doesn't it make you wonder why we didn't work things out
Maybe it was your family, maybe it was my fault
I came around to tell you, that you shouldn't feel alone
That's when your daddy told me that you were gone

Sorry seems such a lonely word
The bastard child between your name and things disturbed
My parents didn't like it when you came around
'cause I was me and you were...

Insane little Jane, doesn't it make you wonder why we didn't work things out
Maybe it was your family, maybe it was my fault
I came around to tell you, that you shouldn't feel alone
That's when your daddy told me that you were gone

Me and your dad we had this talk
And he startled me by saying it was somehow all his fault
If I had known then I would have kicked his ass

Dear Jane, doesn't it make you wonder why we didn't work things out
Maybe it was your family, maybe it was my fault
I came around to tell you, that you shouldn't feel alone
That's when your daddy told me that you were gone
