light it up
hold it close
for a moment
it's all you want
that moment ends
it's given all it has
only to be thrown away
stomped on like a piece of trash
i'm so sick of being treated like a cigarette
only wanted for a moment, only bright for a second
left on the ground, forgotten in a minute
only loved when i have something to give
only ever treated like a cigarette
you
light me up
hold me close
for a single moment
i'm everything you want
but you change your mind
someone else takes your time
and i'm thrown away
left behind like a piece of trash
i'm so sick of being treated like a cigarette
only wanted for a moment, only bright for a second
left on the ground, forgotten in a minute
only loved when i have something to give
only ever treated like a cigarette
you burn me for your pleasure
and snuff me out when you're done
reduced to ash once the flame is out
you never seem to realize
that you'll keep coming back once you get bored
whether i like it or not
i'm so sick of being treated like a cigarette
