cigarettes in the morning

Cigarettes in the morning

Taste better than warnings I ignored

Turns out that they're better friends than the ones I kept

They don't lie it says it on the side

That they can kill me faster than anything

They can't cause pain that you caused me

They can't take the breath that you took from me

You left me half alive

And told me to survive

And I didn't have a God and I didn't have a guide

I was only sixteen feelin' like I'm born to die

How has nicotine become a lifeline

Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me

Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe

Ooh

I got nothin' left anymore

Ooh

But my cigarettes in the morning

I was the life of the party

So no one would know I was bleeding out

Someone said, there's another round

I'm the first one there to choke it down

The glitter on my eyes

Just the pretty way to lie

I'm fuckin' with my friends

Saying that I wanna die

Ain't no party trick

I'm lookin' for a fix

Every line was playin' Russian roulette

In my mind

Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me

Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe

Ooh

I got nothin' left anymore

Ooh

But my cigarettes in the morning

I don't know how I'm still alive

I'm killing myself inside

I guess that God decides

Someone give me a light

Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me

Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe

Ooh

I got nothin' left anymore

Ooh

But my cigarettes in the morning
