Chainsmoke

Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Too many problems to stay sober
To tell you the truth I don't want you to stay over
And it's true, it'd be nice to get some closure
I guess you and me, we just don't work
I know you're still gonna call me when no one's there
You know I'll pick up cuz I still care
You know I'll be there if you need me
But I know you'll end up leaving
I'm done, I can't do this
If you love me then you have to prove it
Honestly this is killing me
I can't wait around to see
What you'll turn out to be
Or maybe you'll be with me eventually
But I'm just not gonna waste my time
While you're thinking about other guys
So you should go and live your life
And I'm gonna live mine
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Now I don't smoke cigarettes
Cuz if I do I'll get addicted
But I love the way they feel
Make my spirit feel more lifted
And I wanna live to 62
And the packs are 6. 92
And I'm stuck in college out of school
120 grand once it's said and through
Why do the good things gotta hurt
Why do the bad things gotta stay
You're just like a cigarette
Cuz eventually you'll cause the pain
Killing myself in a rush
Why do I do all these drugs
My whole body can't keep up
I just hope I find my trust
And you were something good for me
And I hope that you could come and see
Everything I've come to be
Even though it feels you're cross country
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
Lately I've been in a haze
We haven't spoke in several days
I'm trying to chainsmoke the pain away
But nothing seems to take the pain away
