A Boy With Roses

Second Hand Smoke

Weaving through the threads you left
The cold air of night hits my veins 
And I can\'t save myself from all the ways
You\'re serpentine like a maze 

Overdosing on melancholia
I used to crave you like nicotine
I used to hate you like cavities
Now I don\'t even know who I am anymore
I linger like second hand smoke 

Memorising silent syllables you speak
I don\'t read out loud
I write lists to remember why I resent you now
I see the mountains in the distance, out of reach 
Vertigo, centipede, go fast then go slow
Meet me at the speed of love
You\'ve got everything I want
And I won\'t apologize this time
I\'ll water this love  
I\'ll take care of our love 

Bleeding harmony how I never thought
I\'d be in this kind of situation 
Praying I\'ll be okay, and yeah
I am a fool to your divine thinking
You make a promise and then break it
Bottle up your emotions perfectly
You\'re like a reflection in a broken mirror
Saying no strings attached
But you know I catch feelings fast
I get whiplash 
Saying respect ain\'t really a cul-de-sac
Guess you never really learned that 
Every time you learn, I yearn
And every time you leave
I keep coming back to you again.
