Smoke

[Verse 1]

And I lost my mind in the middle of Toronto

I was spending nights at home full throttle

I was breakin' your heart

Breakin' my heart, revenge

And I feel just like I woke up

In somebody else’s skin

Who else is gonna remind you

To take a picture of them?

[Chorus]

Well, they brought hearts and daggers

They wrote songs about you

And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders

And you never ended up coming home

You just became something like some smoke

That I tried too hard to hold

[Verse 2]

And when I awoke, everything had changed

You see, I left my home, returned something different

I was bleeding to death

Beaten to death with regret

And nobody else can see it

But there’s something underneath my skin

And I wish I could tell you

I had the worst little dream

[Chorus]

And they brought hearts and daggers

They wrote songs about you

And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders

And you never ended up coming home

You just became something like some smoke

That I tried too hard to hold

[Bridge]

And the black clouds came and darkened all our insides

There were newspaper clippings with horrible headlines

Of doom and despair, and your name and my name

Said, "Who will save you from the truth of the matter

That your love, though like gold, is gone?"

[Chorus]

And they brought hearts and daggers

They wrote songs about her

And they tied you up in the rungs of ladders

And you never ended up coming home

You just became something like a dream I saw

[Chorus]

Well, they brought hearts and daggers

They wrote songs about you

And they tied you up and you hung from ladders

And you never ended up coming home

You just became something like some smoke

That I tried too hard to hold
