Cigarette Break

It's almost as romantic
As it is sad
You'll never know
The tears,
The times I cried out for you

It's as heartbreaking
As it is reassuring
You'll never run out of love
For them,
As I won't, for you

Touch my hand
One more time
So I can remember
The warmth of your cold heart

So we can try again
Just to fall apart

As sadistic
As your need for masochism
You crave the only thing
You crave the only way
To rip me apart!

Touch my hand
One more time
So I can remember
The nails digging into my soul

Play this again
You know just how to make me
Lose control

It's as sweet
As it is poisonous
It's as tempting
As it is destructive!

All the times I apologized
All the words I begged you to hear
All the tears, the scars, and
All the fucking cigarettes

Pull me back together
One more time
So I can push you away
And make you remember
Why! WHY!

You were my world for a day!
Now you're just a cigarette break
