Josephine
Embracing Liberation: Josephine's Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
I turned your life so upside down. I don't know how you stayed or why
I caused a significant disruption in your life, and I'm uncertain about how you managed to endure or why.
Looking always over my shoulder; exactly what I wanted to find was already mine
I was constantly searching for something, but what I was seeking had been with me all along.
Josephine, Josephine
