Lirik Cigarette Smoke

Youtube/Olivia Rodrigo

It's a cigarette smoke
It's a smell that I know
It clings to my clothes
Seeps into my bones
It's a real quiet house
With the shower left on
Five beers in the fridge and the second car's gone

I regret you
How long I stayed
I resent you
For not being brave, ooh-ooh

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
You said that I made loving look easy
'Til I made it hard
Give me back my time and I will give you back your heart
I thought that we played the perfect couple
'Til you didn't want the part

Some nights can be
So fucking lonely
But it's better than beggin' for you to stand up for me, honeybee

I regret you
What I let slide
I resent you
Taking her side, ooh-ooh

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
You said that I made loving look easy
'Til I made it hard
Give me back my time and I will give you back your heart
I thought that we played the perfect couple
'Til you didn't want the part

It's bone dry, bitter, and hollow
You'll be miles away tomorrow
Why'd I try at all?
It's bone dry, bitter, and hollow
You'll be miles away tomorrow
Why'd I try at all?

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
Ooh, and memories go dark
And memories go dark
And memories go dark
And memories go dark
Go dark
