I think that I was a pack of cardboard cigarettes Hidden under your pillow Or in  your worn down guitar case You looked to me when your throat was closing up When your head was pounding And that guitar was strumming itself because it missed you as much as I did You looked to me when it was raining And lit me up just to watch me burn Let me dangle in your mouth And between your fingers Before flicking me to the floor and putting me out I think I was a pack of robins egg blue Cardboard cigarettes And as soon as I was out You would go get another pack For 5.45 at the gas station I am sitting in pieces where you left me I know I killed you I know I suffocated you But thats the only thing I know how to do Thats what I was made for It's taken me a long time to figure it out But I was made to destroy And I don't regret making you my victim Because you held me at four am and snuck away to be with me And you promised me you enjoyed it And you would love dying a death by something so beautiful But I watched you in pieces Grab another pack Light it up And let it dangle in your mouth I think I was always just a pack of cardboard cigarettes

Cardboard Cigarettes
I think that I was a pack of cardboard cigarettes Hidden under your pillow Or in  your worn down guitar case You looked to me when your throat was closing up When your head was pounding And that guitar was strumming itself because it missed you as much as I did You looked to me when it was raining And lit me up just to watch me burn Let me dangle in your mouth And between your fingers Before flicking me to the floor and putting me out I think I was a pack of robins egg blue Cardboard cigarettes And as soon as I was out You would go get another pack For 5.45 at the gas station I am sitting in pieces where you left me I know I killed you I know I suffocated you But thats the only thing I know how to do Thats what I was made for It's taken me a long time to figure it out But I was made to destroy And I don't regret making you my victim Because you held me at four am and snuck away to be with me And you promised me you enjoyed it And you would love dying a death by something so beautiful But I watched you in pieces Grab another pack Light it up And let it dangle in your mouth I think I was always just a pack of cardboard cigarettes
