Smelling like cigarettes ‘n depression
I’ve written down the things I’m expressing
I’m no longer in love (learned my lesson)
No need for speculation or guessing
Cuz it’s obvious what this is about
I was in love but it didn’t work out
Now I wanna cry now I wanna shout
To stop my despair and overall doubt

I’ve earned the right to be blue
If you were me you’d be too
Now I don’t know what to do
It’s like I can’t breathe without you
But this is the point that I’m pressing
Experience taught me a lesson
Love has two sides to it’s essence
I smell like cigarettes ‘n depression

I’m not looking for sympathy
Or to have you pity me
Locked in my room confessing
All of the things I’m here stressing
Smelling like cigarettes ‘n depression
So if you could just let me be
Alone simmering in my misery
Maybe one day I'll finally be free

Like a kid I’m still an adolescent
Locked in my room confessing
All of the things I’m here stressing
Smelling like cigarettes ‘n depression
Given your past transgression
You left my heart in a total recession
And I have only one possession
My cigarettes ‘n my depression
