Sniffing Cigarettes

I'm sniffing cigarettes in the dark again

I'm calling out your name

But I'll pretend someone's waiting

If you'd listen to just what I said

You might take the time to write it down

And call on me

When you're down

I am down

All your cigarettes on the window sill

I don't know if you were once a friend

Or just pretending

Open up that big old mouth of yours

Pills and razors

Marked the days as they were

Never-ending

When you're down

I am down

You should not forget

Every time we met

Shaking hands like friends

Then I swore I'd never go

I'd never go alone

Then you swore you'd never go

You'd never go alone

I've got your phone

And now I'll call your friends

I'll let know them know

That it was all for real

We weren't pretending

When you're down

I am down, down, down, down, down!

You should not forget

Every time we met

Shaking hands like friends

Then I swore I'd never go

I'd never go alone

Then you swore you'd never go

You'd never go alone

Then I swore I had it all, I

Swore I'd go alone

You swore

You always swore

You always swore alone
