I wanted to be like your cigarettes I wanted to be what calmed you down I wanted to be what you couldn’t wait to press your lips against I wanted to be the little thing you looked forward to during the day I wanted to be the one thing you could not live without And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to become addictive I just wanted you to need me the way you needed to light up every night But then one day you quit smoking..

Your Addiction
I wanted to be like your cigarettes I wanted to be what calmed you down I wanted to be what you couldn’t wait to press your lips against I wanted to be the little thing you looked forward to during the day I wanted to be the one thing you could not live without And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to become addictive I just wanted you to need me the way you needed to light up every night But then one day you quit smoking..
