lyrics

Curled like two question marks
under these sheets.
Touch does the talking,
too scared to speak.
Watching shadows chase cross the floor.
Day turns to evening and evening to 'morn.

One last smoke.
One last kiss before you go.
Shut the door.
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore.

If I could keep those lips of yours,
keep all the sweet things you said before.
Gather them up, and fix them in place,
barricade the door with them
to keep us safe.

One last smoke.
One last kiss before you go.
Shut the door.
I can't do this anymore,
I can't do this anymore.

You say that your heart is hers,
but the longer we stay here
the less you seem sure.
Your fingers dig holes in my flesh,
as though I'm the anchor that can keep us here, still.

Keep telling myself,
this time I'll be strong.
This time, this time
I won't fall.
No more backtracking,
no more late night calls.
This time, this time
I won't fall.

One last smoke.
One last kiss before you go.
Shut the door.
I can't do this anymore,
I won't do this anymore.
