thought of you today, just like always
gave me a headache, so I open a new pack
giving in to that sweet camel menthol
just like I gave you my all

pull from the cigarette
everything that I wanted out of you
every little smile that I hoped to snare
that flash of hands that meant you cared

smoke curls through my mouth, frosting my insides
do you miss me? did you love me?
I'll love you for a thousand years
I loved you for a thousand years

ash blows out the window into nothingness
this buzz in my brain like all of your voices
my heart is numb with minty freshness
I love you, I love you, with God as my witness

I can feel the filter get hot
that last drag always gets to me
Can't say the words that are burning my lungs
Drowning before I took the plunge

Throw out the rest of this cancer stick
I really hate this addicting hassle
I guess it's okay if I only have a few
It'll take a lot more to get over you.
