I thought you didn't like smokers You stopped me everytime I started I always understood why you did though You hated the lingering scent of burnt cancer You despised the fact I smelled like your father When I went up close to kiss your cheeks You didn't want me to leave you Because you wanted to grow old with me
I stopped when you told me to I threw packs in the garbage I stayed away from my habit All because I loved you And because I didn't wanna hurt you I couldn't bear the thought of you crying At my bedside As my lungs gave out And I chose to stop turning my lungs black So I could live longer So I could marry you So I could grow old with you
When he came along I couldn't possibly think he would replace me Even though you looked at him the way you did me Even though I felt like a third wheel Even though you talked about him to me With hearts in your eyes Mainly because he smoked But he did replace me
