You told me once that you smoke

to just forget about the world

And you smoked a lot back then

like what were you trying to forget?

Were you running away from problems

I know you had many.

With your parents, your brothers and friends

and I really tried to help

That's when it all began

drifting apart and loosing it all

You loved your cigarettes more than me

your loneliness and self-pity

I would smoke too,

I'd smoke to die,

if that's what you'd like

but there's nothing more I hate than smoking

yet I'd still do it for you

Shame on me.
