My head was full, my body weak,
Left without a word to speak.
My shaking hands – I won’t forget
The rush when you lit that cigarette.
I know this heartbeat is killing me,
Slowly, you keep telling me lies.
I’m burning alive,
so cover my face while I break down inside.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine
I taste you on my lips;
So caught up in your kiss
I feel you in-between my fingers,
I’m oblivious...
You get the best of me,
Bring out the worst in me,
Then you leave me to die.
I know this heartbeat is killing me,
Slowly, you keep telling me lies.
I’m burning alive,
so cover my face while I break down inside.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine
It gives and it takes,
And it loves till it hates
In the spill of the smoke,
When I finally break,
Save me
Save me
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe.
I’m on my knees, crashing down
You drag me in, to watch me drown
I’m a god damned fool for what I need,
I can barely breathe. You’re my nicotine
