Cigarette

Struck a match and lit me up
Made me think I was enough
Swore to God that this was love
And I believed you
You only want me when you're not with me
And let's admit sometimes you just need me
You're not addicted but now and again
You lose yourself and I end up in your hands
You breathe me in, like I'm wrapped up in your fingertips
Hold me tight for a little while
And then you let me go, and you watch the smoke
Fade away
Then you throw me on the ground
Take a step to put me out
Someday you'll regret treating me like a cigarette
Hold me close against your lips
Lose me a little with every single kiss
Because for the moment I'm all that you have
But after that last hit you just turn your back
To find another pack
You breathe me in, like I'm wrapped up in your fingertips
Hold me tight for a little while
And then you let me go, and you watch the smoke
Fade away
Then you throw me on the ground, take a step to put me out
Someday you'll regret treating me like a cigarette
So I'll just burn out on the city streets
You'll walk home alone and you won't even think of me
Until tomorrow when you just need a minute to breathe
You'll think of me
And breathe me in, like I'm wrapped up in your fingertips
Hold me tight for a little while
And then you'll let me go, and you'll watch the smoke
Fade away
Then you throw me on the ground, take a step to put me out
Someday you'll regret treating me like a cigarette
Take me when you need me was I worth the buzz
Tell me was I worth the temporary rush
Take me when you need me was I worth the buzz
Tell me was I worth the temporary rush
