Whisky & Cigarettes

I've been rolling over in my bed
I've been mulling over what you said
I've been softly praying for my death
Wondering why it hasn't caught me yet

It's a strange taste, my regret
Mixed with whisky and cigarettes
Can you tell me why I haven't thought 'til now
To just let you drown
To let you drown

Tied me to a shipwreck, fathom bound
Said, "It'll be okay, just don't--honey, don't look down"
But even with my eyes up I'll still drown
And as the water fills me up I get that same taste in my mouth

It's the strange taste of my regret
Mixed with whisky and cigarettes
Can you tell me why I haven't thought 'til now
To just let you drown
To let you drown

Oh, how it hurts me so to keep hanging onto your hand
Oh, if I just let you go I might make it to dry land
Why do I keep coming back to you over and over again
And again and again and again and again

To the strange taste of my regret
Mixed with whisky and cigarettes
It's a strange taste, my regret
Mixed with whisky and cigarettes
It's a strange taste, my regret
Mixed with whisky and cigarettes
Can you tell me why I haven't thought 'til now
To just let you drown
To let you drown
