Cigarettes

What have we become?
From exes to lovers
Oh, what went wrong?
This should be over now
But I came back
We both knew what we wanted
No denying that what we had was a failure
So let it be my pleasure

Let me take you on a wonderful ride
Let me revisit all the lies your write
To build up the addiction
To your toxic affection
The deadly gaze or the sour taste
Your lips had a grip on the ways
That I thought of you
But something inside me knew

So blow me out like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until my my lungs collapse
You treat me like a cigarette
But the difference is you use me more
Oh, what do you love me for?
You make me feel some kinda way
But you only see me as an escape
From the cold, hard reality
Of a crumbling fantasy
So blow me like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until I have a heart attack

What does my name taste like in your mouth?
And does the thought of me tire you out?
We've done this countless times before
But I still fall short
I can't resist the way you lie to me
Or the way you fall straight to your knees
Is it too late to ask how you've been?
So here we go again

So blow me out like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until my my lungs collapse
You treat me like a cigarette
But the difference is you use me more
Oh, what do you love me for?
You make me feel some kinda way
But you only see me as an escape
From the cold, hard reality
Of a crumbling fantasy
So blow me like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until I have a heart attack

I know that I'm not the only guy
But sometimes I like to think the contrary
'Cause I notice that whenever you call me
You really have no one else that you could call
But I know that I'm just a click away from coming to your front door
Then I'll stay ignorant and I'll act dumb
Because if I let out the slightest bit of self awareness
I'm sure you'll catch on and leave for someone else instead of me

Oh, and of fucking course I know that this is bad!
Especially since I thought I had just moved on from you
But this past week I've found myself thinking of you
And the sneaky things you did when we were quote-on-quote "together"
Not like you'd spill that secret anyways
But I don't want to know if we'll last
I just want to know if you'll stay the night again
Because after all that you've shown me
Oh god, I'm starting to think you're a better person

So blow me out like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until my my lungs collapse
You treat me like a cigarette
But the difference is you use me more
Oh, what do you love me for?
You make me feel some kinda way
But you only see me as an escape
From the cold, hard reality
Of a crumbling fantasy
So blow me like that cigarette
Put me in and just don't hold back
Until I have a heart attack
