Cigarette Kisses

You taste like cigarettes
On the long way home
Just you and me on a summer's eve
Alone

I'm looking at the photographs that we took on the beach
The more I look the more real the sea seems

Was it all just a dream
That I saved into my memories?
Am I missing you that much
That I'm imagining your touch?

You're getting me addicted to a drug I never use
I only like tobacco and it's coming from you
And I know you're no good for me or the person that I am
But, you taste like a drug and that's enough to keep me on dry land

And the cigarette kisses that you left on my skin
Will be there as long as I live
They just remind me that out of all the things that you loved
I was never one

Now I know it was just a dream
Because you never cared about me
And I was missing you so much
That I pretended that these scares are just your way of love
But, I won't fall for that kind of stuff no more!
