[Verse 1] You said relax "Just this once" Shaking hands Cheap perfume on your front porch I took the drag Held my breath Heartbeat loud Like it knew what would come next [Chorus] It’s just a cigarette But it hits like all my trust burned up Thought I was tough Yeah Til the smoke tasted like red gum Sweet on my tongue Sharp in my lungs You said it’s nothing Why does nothing feel like giving up [Verse 2] You laughed it off Ash on your sleeve Raw-throat cough Eyes too bright to believe "Baby I’m fine" You always say Till I smell that lie On your hoodie the next day [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] You keep saying You can quit whenever But your fingers shake Even holding my hand I keep praying For some kind of answer While you light one more Like you don’t understand [Chorus] [Chorus]
