[Intro – soft, almost mumbled]
It’s 3AM and I still feel it
Ash on my shirt, pain in my spirit
Eyes red, heart cold, you ain’t near it
But I still hear it… yeah, I still hear it…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I roll another ‘cause it slows it down
But your voice still echoes in the background
You said, “Don’t lose yourself,” and I tried
But I lost you somewhere on the other side
Now I’m sleepin’ with ghosts in the sheets
And they all wear your perfume, baby, it’s deep
I ain’t touched a bottle in a couple months
But I miss you worse when I’m sober as f**k
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought time would kill the sting
But it just taught me how to sing
Through the cracks and the cough
Through the silence you left when you took off
⸻
[Chorus]
Now it’s smoke in my chest, hurt in my breath
Tryna find peace, but I ain’t found it yet
You were the calm in my storm, now it’s rain
You left me stuck with the guilt and the blame
Yeah, I light it just to kill the ache
But all that does is make me break
You’re gone, I guess I needed less
But all I got now is smoke in my chest
⸻
[Verse 2]
Every room in this place got your name on the walls
Even after I painted ‘em all
Your hoodie’s still hangin’ by the front door
And I still check the drive like you’ll pull in once more
I ain’t tryna write a song, I’m just bleedin’
You moved on, I’m still here barely breathin’
Told myself I’d heal in time
But time don’t help when the pain feels right
⸻
[Bridge – falsetto or slightly cracked voice]
I been chasin’ highs I’ll never reach
I been sayin’ lies like “I’m at peace”
But I still sleep with your picture face-down
‘Cause I can’t stand seein’ you smile now
⸻
[Final Chorus – quieter, broken voice]
It’s just smoke in my chest, love in the past
A heart built of glass that shattered too fast
You were the only thing keepin’ me sane
Now all I got is regret and your name
Yeah, I light it just to feel okay
But I don’t feel nothin’ anyway
You’re gone, I guess I failed the test
Now all I got left is smoke in my chest
3reezy
