"cigarette smoke" lyrics

The cigarette smoke
Is a smell that I know
It clings to my clothes
And 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
And how long I stayed
I resent you
For not being brave, oh

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 begging for you to stand up for me, honeybee

I regret you
And what I let slide
I resent you
For taking her side, oh

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 will never know my sorrow
Why'd I try at all?

Tell me something honest so the memories turn dark
Ooh, mm, the memories go dark
The memories go dark
The memories go dark
The memories go dark
Go dark
Go dark
