I still remember the day she left, she was eighteen
She just needed a couple of days away, floatin’ in a codeine dream
She walked through an open door that said ‘Welcome all lost souls’
Mama said it’s like losing a child without the flowers or the casseroles
And she knows
She’s using anyone that hurt her to blame for what she’s done wrong
Darkness is her twilight and sadness is her song
And if you ask her what she’s using
She’d say “Anything I can get my hands on”
It could’ve been ’cause her daddy left her out of curiosity
It could’ve been a bad boyfriend that wouldn’t let her be
I don’t hold it against her, I just hold it against
Whatever makes her remember to take
Whatever makes her forget
She’s using anyone that hurt her to blame for what she’s done wrong
Darkness is her twilight and sadness is her song
And if you ask her what she’s using
She’d say “Anything I can get my hands on”
Today she walked in our door, tired and worn
Said “I’m tired of living like this and I wanna come home”
She’s using anyone that’ll hold her and help her to getting straight
Darkness is her twilight but she knows that it’s not too late
And if you ask her what she’s using
It’s what I needed all along
Yeah, anything I can get my hands on
Yeah, anything I can get my hands on
Anything I can get my hands on
