Smokes, Let's Go Songtext
von Free Throw

Had my first smoke in four years today
I wasn′t thinking about my voice
Or the things that my poor mother would
say if she found out that I made this choice
I was thinking about your face
And the look of disappointment
That you would surely cast my way if
you caught wind of the sails I've hoisted
I float away, path curling like the smoke off my tongue
Still hurt, emotions closed tight like my lungs
Know I said I′d never write about you again
But a promise ain't a promise
If we both have never held up our end
No, a promise ain't a promise
If we both have never held up our end


Twelve-packs and cigarettes
I guess they never help
Think I have some kind of penchant for things detrimental to my health
I wish that things were different, I just wish we were still friends
′Cause if there′s one thing I know,
this just all goes to show that a promise ain't
a promise if we both have never held up our end

I never should′ve went to that bar
I wish I never noticed your car
I shouldn't have waited, I should′ve just left
Now I'm outside my house with a new cigarette to smoke again
Why couldn′t I ignore your glowing skin and smile?
Why'd I let you grab my hand and lead me in?
I made a promise to myself to never let this win
But a promise ain't a promise
If I can′t hold together both ends
No, a promise ain′t a promise
If I can't hold together both ends
No, a promise ain′t a promise
If I can't hold together both ends

I smoked my first pack in 4 years today
I mean, I guess it didn′t really help
I think I have some kind of
penchant for things detrimental to my health
I guess I'm smoking again
