Cigarette Street Lights

Her cigarette is burning

and she found what she's searching for

as she's watching me drown

in a sea of make believe

where nothing's ever what it seems to be

and I can't claw my way out

her hands are shaking

and she found what she's waiting for

but I'm slipping from her grip

into a sea of discontent

cause every word she said she never meant

I'll escape her lying lips

I'm falling for a breakdown

I'm letting go of everything I've found

I'm running from the pain now

I'm finding there is beauty in my doubt

I'm falling for a breakdown

my cigarette is ashes

and I found that I wanted more

as I watched her disappear

into a cloud of smoke so thick

where everything I once had makes me sick

and I have never been this scared

but my hands stopped shaking

and I found what's making me cold

as I step out of this dark

into a ray of shining light

where all the past is blinded out of sight

I survived her evil heart

I'm falling for a breakdown

I'm letting go of everything I've found

I'm running from the pain now

I'm finding there is beauty in my doubt

I'm falling for a breakdown

these cigarettes lead me away from her

light up the night, carry me from hurt

these cigarettes lead me away from her

light up the night, carry me from hurt

I'm in love with not being in love with you

I'm in love with not being in love with you

anymore

I'm falling for a breakdown

I'm letting go of everything I've found

I'm running from the pain now

I'm finding there is beauty in my doubt

I'm falling for a breakdown

I'll use this knife to cut my throat

I'll bleed the words I never spoke

but don't think I would ever give myself for you again.
