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
