Smoke

[Verse 1]
And I lost my mind in the middle of Toronto
I was spending nights at home full throttle
I was breakin' your heart
Breakin' my heart, revenge
And I feel just like I woke up
In somebody else’s skin
Who else is gonna remind you
To take a picture of them?

[Chorus]
Well, they brought hearts and daggers
They wrote songs about you
And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders
And you never ended up coming home
You just became something like some smoke
That I tried too hard to hold

[Verse 2]
And when I awoke, everything had changed
You see, I left my home, returned something different
I was bleeding to death
Beaten to death with regret
And nobody else can see it
But there’s something underneath my skin
And I wish I could tell you
I had the worst little dream

[Chorus]
And they brought hearts and daggers
They wrote songs about you
And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders
And you never ended up coming home
You just became something like some smoke
That I tried too hard to hold

[Bridge]
And the black clouds came and darkened all our insides
There were newspaper clippings with horrible headlines
Of doom and despair, and your name and my name
Said, "Who will save you from the truth of the matter
That your love, though like gold, is gone?"

[Chorus]
And they brought hearts and daggers
They wrote songs about her
And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders
And you never ended up coming home
You just became something like a dream I saw

[Chorus]
Well, they brought hearts and daggers
They wrote songs about you
And they tied you up and you hung from ladders
And you never ended up coming home
You just became something like some smoke
That I tried too hard to hold
