"Smoke" lyrics

Is it over now? Did we lose somehow?
I can close my eyes and still see you behind me
If you paced yourself, fully-faced yourself
Maybe I'd be gone and you'd be here, where I am, now?

And it's not a pretty picture, the one you framed for me
Took me all this time to realize I don't owe you anything
Are you settled down in that pretty house?
Did you cut your hair to make you feel like someone else?

Smoke after the fire burns downs their embers
You're the stain my heart remembers
And I watch as it goes up in smoke
Now we are scattered into ashes
Wait for rain before fire catches
I just won't let you go up in smoke

Did you sail your ship? Are you over it?
Or do you keep it in a basement next to every things you've quit?
Did you give it up, all that big shot stuff?
Or do you ever miss, so much, before it got tough?

'Cause it was never really simple, the trust you gave
Like a moth under the porchlight thinking that it kept you safe

Are you happy now, without being around?
Can you count on your new friends to let you down?

Smoke after the fire burns downs their embers
You're the stain my heart remembers
And I watch as it goes up in smoke
Now we are scattered into ashes
Wait for rain before fire catches
I just won't let you go

Surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender

Up in smoke after the fire burns downs their embers
You're the stain my heart remembers
And I watch as it goes up in smoke
Now we are scattered into ashes
Wait for rain before fire catches
I just won't let you go

Surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
