You hold the smoke in your fingertips

You say you feel alone

You're not alone, you have the smoke

You have the smoke and me

 

I loved you once in my life

You were too blind to see

But you just loved the smoke

You loved the smoke, not me

 

The smoke seems to like you too

But only if you knew

You thought you were holding the smoke

But the smoke was holding you

 

The smoke has you in its grasp

You didn't know until you gasped

You gasped for air, you didn't dare

To hold the smoke again

 

I hold the smoke between my fingers

And with every breath your memory lingers

I watched you smoke and fade away

But now I know you weren't okay

Because in the mirror I see you

I love the smoke as I loved you

 

Now that you're gone I see the truth

I know I've smoked away my youth

I thought I was addicted to the smoke

But now I know that was all a hoax

And since I know now what is true

It wasn't the smoke

I was addicted to you
