Dark Smoke

It’s been some time since I first saw you,

I know you believe this love is true

But, I just wanted someone so I can get by.

I’m sorry that I didn’t try.

I don’t want to be here all the time.

And now you call me “mine.”

Your threatening sweet and sour smiles,

Turned into a walk down the aisle.

Don’t tell me I can’t fly.

I’ll tell you why I mind.

Don’t tell me I can’t write,

Or how hard I need to fight.

I don’t know if I’m going to stay.

Please, I’m not the one to blame.

I can endure this life alone.

If you're going to leave, I won’t stop you.

Is violence a way to say I love you?

I just want someone to stand by my side.

Calling me all day, hugging me all night.

So fragile and so young, I’m going to hurt you aren’t I?

I wouldn’t call this a home.

Never believe the stories told.

I’m preparing myself for the next

The epidemic is coming,

The smoke rises up, and I have to get out!

I don’t believe that you won’t hurt me.

Looking around, and no one’s there

So fragile and so young, I’m going to hurt you aren’t I?
