Secondhand Smoke

Sometimes you could hear a pin drop
Or the ticking of the clock
Between the surface conversation
No matter what they were sayin'
They never talked, hmm

Sometimes I would hear 'em screamin'
When they thought that I was sleepin'
They'd just fight about whatever
I don't know if they ever had a reason

Am I the product of a problem that I couldn't change?
Got his eyes, got her hair
So do I get their mistakes?

I know
That you can't walk across a bridge
That's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?
I can't help that they choose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
On that secondhand smoke

Sometimes I hear myself sayin'
Hand-me-down words
It's so easy to forget
That he ain't him, and I ain't her

And when I think fighting has to end in a goodbye
I wanna prove me wrong
But I'm scared I'll prove me right, 'cause

I know
That you can't walk across a bridge
That's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?
I can't help that they chose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
On that secondhand smoke
Oh, no

Will I be better? Find forever?
Be the one to shake the habit?
Break away from broken things
And rise above the ashes?

I know
That you can't walk across a bridge
That's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?
I can't help that they chose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
No, I ain't gonna choke
On that secondhand smoke

Ooh, oh, oh
