Click click click goes the lighter
I stare at my beautiful back bone as she breaks a part
She takes her poison just the way I taught her
But is time with her new lighter
Click click click
Tears run down her soft face
Click
Her nervous tick gets slower
No please keep going
When she clicks the lighter at least her mind is on something else
Just for that split second
Look forward, only a little longer
Why can't I help you like you helped me
I want to hear you trucking on strong
Click click click
That's better

Tears run down her soft face

No please keep going
When she clicks the lighter at least her mind is on something else
Just for that split second
Look forward, only a little longer
Why can't I help you like you helped me
I want to hear you trucking on strong
Click click click
That's better
