Jacqueline
Studying a photo of you
Grinning at the kitchen table
Crowned in jewels and royal blue
You were bright and young at 22
Everybody says I'm just like you
Was that one of many days you suffered through
We both know sadness too well
I lost you to its spell
Waking up without you is waking up in hell
I'll never meet you at 48
You won't cry on my wedding day
You'll never hear my children say your name
Jacqueline
Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline
Searched your note a hundred times
For answers and peace of mind
Waiting on a letter that'll never come
I missed your call the day before
Could you not take it anymore
I'm waiting on someone to wake me up
Jacqueline
Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline
Left your glasses on the kitchen table
Your favorite pair you always wore
Wonder if you knew I'd find them
And I'd fall to the floor
Screaming out at God
Wishing you'd walk in
Just to kiss me and hold me
Jacqueline
Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline

Waking up without you is waking up in hell

Ain't that a shame
