I'm Your Queen Lyrics

Slept the night on a mountain of cigarettes

Woke up swimming in a pool of gin

I wandered lost through my apartment

And started packing up your things

I had a song inside I wish I could forget

And some ink that was fresh and new

I thought about the nights on the south side

Where we broke in our dancing shoes

You said “I’m your queen. You know me”

You said “I’m your queen. For all to see”

Paced around the nights you were never there

Trying to find out where you’d been

Prayed to god I wouldn’t find you all alone

With a needle in your skin

Some nights you’d come around when loaded

Desperation raw and thick

You’d lock yourself inside my bedroom

As the withdrawal made you sick

The first night that we met I knew I’d fall in love with you

But you weren’t the kinda girl you just pick up

You had torn up denim jeans and your shirt said Sonic Youth

But I thought that maybe I could be enough
