lyrics

It's been a whole day since I last had a smoke.
It's been a whole year since I left you alone.
Three years have passed on this old stick and poke,
Since I've heard your voice on my telephone.
I hate the time and the way that it left us.
I miss your love and how normal it kept us.
In this apartments, hope you won't forget me.
I'd hold you again if only you'd let me.

Maybe it's wrong of me, but I care for you like nobody else.
Obviously I've got things to work out, but I'm scared to lose touch. I know you can tell.
Stale cigarettes remind me of you, but then again there's little that won't.
I'm willing to bet I'm acting insane. I'm explaining again, in case you don't know.

I'm better already and you're nowhere near me.
I stare out the window in hopes you're appearing.
I know that it's wrong, I know that I'm foolish.
I've so much time that I've nothing to do with.
Maybe I'm sad but I've been working through
The problems I've had since leaving you.
This isn't a love song, but I had to confess
I'm right here forever, the same loyal mess.

Maybe it's wrong of me, but I care for you like nobody else.
Obviously I've got things to work out, but I'm scared to lose touch. I know you can tell.
Stale cigarettes remind me of you, but then again there's little that won't.
I'm willing to bet I'm acting insane. I'm explaining again, in case you don't know.
