Verse 1]
The smoke drifts slow, like ghosts in the dark,
Ashes fall quiet, they burn like my heart.
Your shadow lingers, a soft silhouette,
Fading in echoes I can’t forget.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathing in poison, it tastes just like you,
Every drag whispers the lies we once knew.
Fingers are trembling, the cold never fades,
I chase the warmth that your memory made.
[Chorus]
Take your cigarette and light my pain,
Let the ember spark through the pouring rain.
I’ll watch you vanish in the rising smoke,
A ghost in the night, and I start to choke.
Take your cigarette, burn me alive —
I’ll haunt your dreams, but I’ll never survive.
[Verse 2]
The moon looks down with a vacant stare,
Cold winds hum secrets that vanish in air.
I’m stuck in the ruins of what we became,
A flick of your lighter, and I’m lost in the flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Breathing in silence, the night feels so wide,
The shadows wrap tight — no place left to hide.
The filter grows bitter, my lungs start to sting,
But nothing compares to the ache that you bring.
[Chorus]
Take your cigarette and light my pain,
Let the ember spark through the pouring rain.
I’ll watch you vanish in the rising smoke,
A ghost in the night, and I start to choke.
Take your cigarette, burn me alive —
I’ll haunt your dreams, but I’ll never survive.
[Bridge]
The ashes are falling, like stars from the sky,
Each ember a promise, each spark is a lie.
I reach for your hand, but it slips through the haze,
A fleeting illusion that drifts and decays.
[Chorus]
Take your cigarette and light my pain,
Let the ember spark through the pouring rain.
I’ll watch you vanish in the rising smoke,
A ghost in the night, and I start to choke.
Take your cigarette, burn me alive —
I’ll haunt your dreams, but I’ll never survive.
[Outro]
The night grows quiet, the embers have died,
But your ghost still lingers, alone at my side.
I’ll fade like the smoke, lost in regret —
A soul left behind, in your last cigarette.
