Cigarettes in the morning
Taste better than warnings I ignored
Turns out that they're better friends than the ones I kept
They don't lie it says it on the side that they can
Kill me faster than anything
But they can't cause pain that you caused me
They can't take the breath that you took from me
You left me half alive
And told me to survive
And I didn't have a god and I didn't have a guide
I was only sixteen feelin' like I was born to die
How has nicotine become a lifeline
Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe
Ooooooooo
I got nothin' left anymore
Ooooooooo
But my cigarettes in the morning
I was the life of the party
So no one would know I was bleeding out
Someone said, there's another round
I'm the first one there to choke it down
The glitter on my eyes
Just the pretty way to lie
F*ckin with my friends
Saying that I wanna die
Ain't no party trick
I'm lookin' for a fix
Every line was playin' Russian roulette
In my mind
Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe
Ooooooooo
I got nothin' left anymore
Ooooooooo
But my cigarettes in the morning
I don't know how I'm still alive
I'm killing myself inside
I guess that God decides
Someone give me a light
Tar on my tongue, smoke in my lungs, that's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage, caused my panic that won't let me breathe
Ooooooooo
I got nothin' left anymore
Ooooooooo
But my cigarettes in the morning
