cigarette smoke Lyrics

Cigarette smoke stays in the air

From the one that you stole

But this time you don't care

They'll never find your bench

Behind the trees

The place of serenity, quiet, and peace

But you know, it's always the same thing

She's got the car and he's home wondering

When headlights will light up the windows

A slamming door, an "I just don't care anymore!"

I'm gonna run away, but I won't go too far

Gonna find the back of the woods in my yard

Where I can't hear them yelling and it won't be so hard

And maybe this time I'll stay out after dark

'Til I find myself piled on the front porch

Of the house that was everything good

'Til you "Grow up and learn what you should,

That everything ain't wrapped in gold"

Like they told you when you're sixteen years old

I take a walk and clear my head

But the words you were saying, I just can't forget

And I know you don't mean it, this ain't who you've been

But it's bringing back memories I've tried to withstand

And I've been alone all this time since then

This place that we've built together instead

Can never be the same if I let them win

Oh I won't let them win anymore

I'm gonna run away, but I won't go too far

Gonna find the back of the woods in my yard

Where I can't hear him yelling and it won't be so hard

And maybe this time I'll stay out after dark

'Til I find myself piled on the front porch

Of the house that is everything good

'Til you "Grow up and learn what you should,

That everything ain't wrapped in gold"

Like they told you when you were sixteen years old

Time goes by, scars never leave

I know that this ain't who I wanna be

Time goes by, scars never leave

I know that this ain't who I wanna be

Cigarette smoke stays in the air

From the one that you stole

But this time you don't care

They'll never find your bench

Behind the trees

The place of serenity, quiet, and peace
