Cigarette Song
(written by Melissa Marchese and Adam Michael)
I love you
I hate you
I need you
fuck you
look at me losing control
you break me
you shake me
you look so fancy
I wish you’d just leave me alone
I’ve had enough of this crazy tug of war
I’m not your beaten down broken little whore
I’ll sail away and I’ll leave you ashore
stranded alone and afraid
all I can taste is the pain
it’s been three weeks
they tell me it’s gonna get easy
just gotta keep moving on
your smell, it lingers
the taste of you haunts me
feels so right but it’s wrong
I’ve had enough of this crazy tug of war
I’m not your beaten down broken little whore
I’ll sail away and I’ll leave you ashore
stranded alone and afraid
all I can taste is the pain
taking what’s not yours to take
killing me softly day by day
now you’re leaving me
stranded alone and afraid
all I can taste is the pain
stranded alone afraid
all I can taste is the pain
