Lyrics

Buying Smokes

Hey, hey, I'm feeling good If it's just for a little while Your family trees come after you again You see your sister, yeah, she's doing good She's got a job in the neighbourhood She's got a four leaf clover on the way Who says, who says that we can't be friends? I'm done with confrontation I'm done with hesitating I'm done with all the crazy things you do I'm done with all your laughter I'm done with happy ever after I'm done with all the crazy things you do I got into buying smokes They made me laugh, they made me choke They made me feel like everything's okay I wanna learn how to love you right And be the man to keep you up at night I hope I find the courage on the way Who says, who says that we can't be friends? I'm done with confrontation I'm done with hesitating I'm done with all the crazy things you do I'm done with all your laughter I'm done with happy ever after I'm done with all the crazy things you do I'm done with confrontation I'm done with hesitating I'm done with all the crazy things you do I'm done with all your laughter I'm done with happy ever after I'm done with all the crazy things you do
