Marlboro Lights

Say you don't love me

Say you don't want me anymore

Tell me it's over, it's over

I'll open my bottle

But no I ain't opening the door

The bath water gets colder

So just say it's over

'Cause my pocket's broke

My soul is stone

I ruined you again

And a lonely bridge

A rooftop ledge

Could just fix everything

But when I'm alone on the longest nights

I think of you and your marlboro lights

And I, I get a bit better

And I'll lay here on the bedroom floor

When your feet walked out

And your daggers fall

And I, I get a little big better

Say you'll forget me

Say you'll erase me from your mind

Right from the day of our doomed beauty

I saw my future in your eyes

Save the words you rehearsed

We both know I won't be fine

'Cause you know that fate

Won't take my bribes

And I only want what's never mine

So you break the door

You break my heart

You ruin me again

And the passing trucks

And loaded guns

Never could fix anything

But when I'm alone on the longest nights

I think of you and your marlboro lights

And I, I get a bit better

And I'll lay here on the bedroom floor

When your feet walked out

And your daggers fall

And I, I get a little big better

When love is made so renegade

You know you're going down in flames

And if our hearts must share a grave

At least can we be friends?

You shoot your words

They knock me down

Like rubber bullets raining out

They bounce right off

And I get up again

But if no one understands me

At least you could pretend

I never knew when love was true

But I know it's the end

But I'll be here 'til chaos calls

And god ain't listening anymore

'Cause I, I know that we could be better

And I'll stay here to defy our fears

Even though I know it'll end in tears

'Cause I, I know that we could be better

When I'm alone on the longest nights

I think of you and your marlboro light

And I, I couldn't be better...
