Light it up and burn it away You are my cigarette on this nice winter day I'll smoke you til the very end, til you are burning my finger tips, til my eyes fill with smoke I can't breathe Don't do that You remind me of everything bad in this beautiful world You suffocated me Is it because I told you about his hands around my neck That you felt the need crush me further and steal the spirit I had left Don't touch me Somewhere within this tidal wave I trapped myself in You stopped saying I didn't deserve it You started saying it was my fault and in attempt to not be left speechless I agreed You dripped blame on me while dangling my hope on your poisoned thread The disappointments left me cold Don't pretend I would never, could never be good enough I cut myself wide open and you left me here alone Don't I don’t want to say betrayal And I don’t want to say let down But don’t promise me you’ll be there When you’re there to help me drown

Light it up and burn it away You are my cigarette on this nice winter day I'll smoke you til the very end, til you are burning my finger tips, til my eyes fill with smoke I can't breathe Don't do that You remind me of everything bad in this beautiful world You suffocated me Is it because I told you about his hands around my neck That you felt the need crush me further and steal the spirit I had left Don't touch me Somewhere within this tidal wave I trapped myself in You stopped saying I didn't deserve it You started saying it was my fault and in attempt to not be left speechless I agreed You dripped blame on me while dangling my hope on your poisoned thread The disappointments left me cold Don't pretend I would never, could never be good enough I cut myself wide open and you left me here alone Don't I don’t want to say betrayal And I don’t want to say let down But don’t promise me you’ll be there When you’re there to help me drown
