Ode To Lena

i had a girl man, she said she loved me
one day she was gone
she said she loved dope more than she loved me
one day she was gone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now let me tell you how many, many many days
i felt the cold inside me 'cause of her sinfull ways
now i don't want to miss her but anyway i do
how could she do this man? you know i loved her too

then she went to jail i waited for so long
she didn't really care so i wrote this song
i did not want to write it, it made really sad
i loved her so much man, it felt like i was mad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
why do we love each other what makes us feel that way
i do not know the answer man, 'cause she ran away
she is dancing on the edge i hate to see her fall
still i want to help her man, to reach out for her soul

she gets high then goes to jail and that's the way it was
i waited for so long to meet her at prison doors
i gave her everything, everything i could
now its over man, it's over just the way it should

why do pepole do this man, we hurt each other's heart
but that's the way life is, sometimes we drift apart
i did not want to say this, i did not want to wait
just hear me out Lena because this has to be said:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i know you can do this i know you can get through
please break up with dope before it breaks up with you
