[Lyric] Cigarettes (Mark Lum)

[Verse 1:]

Sliding by
Falling back
I don't think that I can handle
I can't conduct
And I won't stay on track
Sure there's time
You really messed things up
I won't be around to fix you
I won't be around to pick you up
I don't care
About neglect
Said, I feel the urge to throw out
All my cigarettes
I don't care
About the times
When you filled me up just to fool my mind

[Chorus:]
This is it, this is all
You're my everything
Let your lies pass on by
Wasn't raised that way
No regrets, no regrets
Glad I made my choice
I moved from Houston down to Key West
Just to make my point
Hm

[Verse 2:]

Sliding by
Falling back
I don't think that I can conduct, too
With this monkey on my back
Sure, therе's time
You really messеd things up
I won't be around to fix you
Be around to lift you up
I don't care
About respect
I feel the urge to throw out all my cigarettes
I don't care
About the times
When you filled me up just to fool my mind
[Chorus:]

This is it, this is all
You're my everything
I won't let your lies pass on by
Mama didn't raise me that way
No regrets, no regrets
I'm glad I made my choice
Said, I moved from Houston down to Key West
Just to make my point


[Outro: As Heard During Live Performances]

What the hell is friends?
When you said you'd be there to the end
Don't pretend!
Love is just a game I can't win!
