[Verse 1]
Studying a photo of you grinnin' at the kitchen table
Crowned in jewels and royal blue
Bright and young at twenty-two
Everybody says I'm just like you
Was that one of many days you suffered through?

[Verse 2]
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 forty-eight
You won't cry on my wedding day
You'll never hear my children say your name

[Chorus]
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 grapplin' with what I've got left
Jacqueline

[Verse 3]
Sеarched your note a hundred timеs
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
[Chorus]
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 grapplin' with what I've got left
Jacqueline

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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 grapplin' with what I've got left
Jacqueline

[Outro]
Jacqueline
