Vincent

(앨범: Local Honey - 2020)

My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
I was baptized in a river when I was young
Jesus forgives me for all of my sins
'Cept maybe that one when we were kids

I came from South Texas, killer party scene
Somehow the wanting turned to a needing
I had a decent boyfriend, until he got mean
Hit me so hard that the room used to spin

So say that you love me
Before we both end up in hell
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
I couldn't run if I wanted to now
Say that you miss me
Tell me sweet and sweet little lies
Humor me, Vincent
After tonight I won't be home for a while

I would fly solo to the rodeo dance
I'd cover my bruises in a Maybelline mask
Wait till he passed out, he did it most nights
I'd go to meet Vincent and to come back to life

Nobody knew but inside I would break
It was always this screaming, in between I'd just wait
One night I suppose it finally drove me insane
I stabbed him once and I stabbed him again

So say that you love me
Before we both end up in hell
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
I couldn't run if I wanted to now
Say that you miss me
Tell me sweet and sweet little lies
Humor me, Vincent
After tonight I won't be home for a while

I used to love the smell of the carnival
And the tilt-a-whirl setting us free
I'm sure gonna miss the summer
How the lights used to light up in me
But I better go
Vincent, I love you more than you know
God bless you, old friend
I don't think that I'll ever see you again

My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
I was baptized in a river, when I was young
