Cigarettes

Cigarettes on my breath while I sweat out last night’s decisions
Say I’ll stop, give ‘em up, but I know I’m probably not quitting
I don’t have any friends, make amends with all the wrong people
Swear to God that they’re good, but I know deep down that they’re evil for me

My mom said to me when I was young
“Be smart, stay away from drugs and guns”
24, I’m sitting in a cop car
Rock bottom, but I thought I was a rockstar
25 with a record
Told my sister and it wrecked her
Took a handful of pills to feel better
All I tried to do was hide, but I couldn’t hide from myself
I’m 28 now
Left my hometown
Was living fast, changed the pace had to slow down
My friends are fake, wow
Where are they now
Said they’d be there till the end, well now just stay down

Cigarettes on my breath while I sweat out last night’s decisions
Say I’ll stop, give ‘em up, but I know I’m probably not quitting
I don’t have any friends, make amends with all the wrong people
Swear to God that they’re good, but I know deep down that they’re evil for me

Evil, evil, evil people
In my life, abandon leave ‘em
Take what’s mine before they take my life
Cause I don’t have time for you
I used to feel alive, I would die for you
I know I gotta change, but not a dime for you
I know I gotta change, but not a dime for you
I’m 28 now
Left my hometown
Was living fast, changed the pace had to slow down
My friends are fake, wow
Where are they now
Said they’d be there till the end, well now just stay down

Cigarettes on my breath while I sweat out last night’s decisions
Say I’ll stop, give ‘em up, but I know I’m probably not quitting
I don’t have any friends, make amends with all the wrong people
Swear to God that they’re good, but I know deep down that they’re evil for me
