Lyrics

By the time I figured it out
You were back across the state
Staying at your parents' house
I knew by then it was too late
I thought you had winked
I thought you had smiled
I thought it was a joke
But it was american spirits blown in your eye
You said I'm ugly when I smoke
And I thought it was a joke
By the time i figured it out
You were miles ahead at least
Why'd you have to leave right then?
Before you told me what it means?
I thought you were playing, stretching the truth
I thought it was a joke
But now i can see what this looks like to you
And I'm hungry for a smoke
I thought you had winked
I thought you had smiled
I thought it was a joke
But it was american spirits blown in your eye
You said I'm ugly when I
