Pocket full of Marlboros I don't know when you started smoking But I do know That you still know me Here on this darkened street corner You still see me And it scares me That I could have pressed so much of myself into your hands And that you didn't let it go Even though the back of your hand is all I know And I know that you know me But is that enough to bring us back to the people we used to be? On that sacred hill or in your old house in the city Apathy isn't pretty But I'd like to try it on for size Somewhere inside of me in the darkness cries for all that we once were That smoke doesn't hide you it just blurs the sadness in your eyes The weight in your sighs. (I'm not angry anymore, I'm heart broken)
