letra de 20 cigarettes - weglobe

[intro]
match strike… long inhale

[verse 1]
she left her lipstick on the last one in the pack
ruby red reminder that she ain’t coming back
i smoke it anyway, taste her on my lips
funny how goodbye still burns when you take a hit
four walls and a window, that’s my world tonight
kitchen table covered in our last fight
wedding ring sitting in the ashtray like it belongs
right next to everything else we got wrong

[chorus]
twenty cigarettes since you walked out that door
each one a memory i can’t ignore
first one was anger, second one was blame
by number three i was choking on your name
pack getting lighter but my chest getting tight
twenty cigarettes burning through the night
doctor said they’d k!ll me, honey so did you
difference is i knew the cigarettes were bad news

[verse 2]
number seven was the night we met at rosie’s bar
you were singing patsy cline underneath the stars
eight was our first dance, nine our wedding day
ten through twelve the years i begged your ghost to stay
thirteen i remember how you laughed just like a song
fourteen i admitted i knew something was wrong
fifteen was his name carved in your phone
sixteen i realized i was already alone
[chorus]
twenty cigarettes since you walked out that door
each one a memory i can’t ignore
first one was anger, second one was blame
by number three i was choking on your name
pack getting lighter but my chest getting tight
twenty cigarettes burning through the night
doctor said they’d k!ll me, honey so did you
difference is i knew the cigarettes were bad news

[bridge]
seventeen i poured your perfume down the drain
eighteen i stood naked in the rain
trying to wash you off my skin, out my head
nineteen i crawled back into our bed
smelled you on the pillow, lost my godd-mn mind
lit the last one knowing what i’d find
nothing at the bottom of a habit but more need
you and nicotine, same disease

[verse 3]
twenty cigarettes gone, so i drove to the store
two am in my boxers, couldn’t take no more
old man behind the counter said “rough night son?”
i said “mister you don’t know the half of what she done”
he slid another pack across the counter slow
said “i smoked these forty years after my linda let go
some pain don’t have a cure, just a way to cope
boy sometimes a cigarette is better than a rope”
[chorus]
twenty cigarettes, now i’m starting twenty-one
sunrise coming up but i ain’t done
each drag a little prayer she might call
each ash a piece of me i let fall
pack getting empty like the bed where she slept
twenty cigarettes the only promise i kept
said i’d quit when she quit me, here’s the proof
twenty cigarettes, i’m still on the roof

[outro]
long exhale
surgeon general says these things’ll take your life
ain’t say nothing bout a cheating wife
twenty-one… twenty-two… twenty-three…
some addictions wear a ring
some wear a warning label
only one of em told me the truth
