lyrics

No I don't, do you
have a lighter? Cause I stole a cigarette from you.
You're an awful habit that I swear I'm quitting,
But I'm begging you, please don't quit me.
Yeah, I'm begging you, please don't quit me.

I never wanted to feel this way.
I just figured that by now I would have grown and
things could have changed.
Maybe that's naive of me.

So darling blow me a kiss goodbye,
cause my head is getting foggy.
I might die before I see you again and decide
that maybe I can live without your cigarettes.
Maybe I'll just forget everything you said,
and maybe I can apologize for this petty theft.
