lyrics

Jenny was a good girl, always tried to do her best
We grew up like sisters, more than friends
She taught me how to do my makeup and my hair
While her parents screamed and fought downstairs

What I wouldn’t give to know that you were okay
How did we get this way?
We started out the same before we split
Just like a wishbone
Wishbone

I remember the first time we shaved our legs
We were scared our skin would all come off
And I remember being nervous to tell you that I had a crush on Kurt Cobain
We tried to figure out what being girls meant

What I wouldn’t give to know that you were okay
How did we get this way?
We started out the same before we split
Just like a wishbone
Wishbone

And you were never good with school
And I was scared to break the rules
And you found drugs when I found music
And you chose boys who knew how to use you
And the rumors they grew bigger
While you gradually got thinner
I never judged you, only loved you, but
Where are you now?

What I wouldn’t give to know that you were okay
How did we get this way?
We started out the same before we split
Just like a wishbone
Wishbone
