The Filter

[Verse 1]
Smoke still smouldering
From the cigarette she was holding
When she looked at me and said the fire's burned out
She'd already packed her bag
Didn't even take that one [?]
She just got up to me and put it down

[Verse 2]
Now here I sit staring
Never thought she'd take it there
If what we had is over, that's one bitter pill
She probably hit a hundred
By the time she hit the highway
But for me it feels like time is standing still

[Chorus]
When you know she ain't coming back
Your whole world stops in it tracks
And moves in slow motion
When she drops you like a habit
In a flash you'll run a gamut of emotions
You'll hate her
You'll love her
Won't give a damn but damn you're gonna miss her
Yeah you'll go 'round and 'round
Before that Marlboro burns down to the filter

[Verse 3]
I'll never taste those lips again
That's all I can think of
When I see those lipstick prints she left behind
It's almost like they're whispering
Good luck with forgetting
All that's left of me is once upon a time

[Chorus]
You know she ain't coming back
Your whole world stops in it tracks
And moves in slow motion
When she drops you like a habit
In a flash you'll run a gamut of emotions
You'll hate her
You'll love her
Won't give a damn but damn you're gonna miss her
Yeah you'll go 'round and 'round
Before that Marlboro burns down to the filter
In that tray

Wish I could throw it out
Like she threw me away
But I love her
She don't give a damn but damn I'm gonna miss her
But all I've got of her now is a Marlboro burned down to the filter
