lyrics

I can hear you coming
Coming up those steps
You can smell the tobacco
Stale on my breath
You know that scent of
Old cigarettes
That I’ve started smoking
Now that you’ve left

You always hated them
It’s no secret
Remember the time when I first told you that I had one?
You were so disgusted.
But now that you’re gone
Well, ain’t no one gonna tell me shit
And I can do whatever I want
To burn you away real quick

Ch.
To burn you away
Take the smoke - take the flame
Someday I will get
To the point where I don’t choke with every breath
But by then, you’ll be so far away.
So far away.

I’m not smoking these for show
It’s not some cancerous charade
But if I can’t be someone you love
Then I’ll have to be something you hate
As I choke
As the smoke curls around my face
If I catch you looking over here
I’m gonna look away.

Ch.
