"Lost Cause" lyrics - CHRIS CORNELL

That's right
We all get left behind
It's just a fact
Maybe that's why people have guns?
Won't help though
Just a fact

Jesse was a good girl
Went to a good school
Her daddy's little pride and joy
Up until she reached twelve
She never rebelled
And then she went and met a boy

Now he was never good for her
About six years older
Parents thought it was a phase
(Indecipherable)
By the time that they tried
It was just too late

Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in your blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong)

By the age of sixteen
Couldn't tell her a thing
'Cause Jesse seemed to know it all
She was helping her boyfriend
Cook up some methadrine
And got in trouble with the law

Now everybody knew
That she wasn't that bad
But it was either her or him
They set her up and she lied
The judge gave her three to five
And Jesse ended up inside

Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in your blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just to far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong}, wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong)

Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change it
Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change

Better off giving up, did not change enough
Nothing but trouble flowing in your blood
Just can't stay away, addicted to the pain
Do anything to touch the flame

She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong
She was a lost cause
She was just too far gone, gone
Now there's no turning back, our
Little black sheep gone wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong), wrong (wrong)

Daddy's girl done gone the wrong way
And there ain't nothing you can do to change
