I Swore

Lyrics

ash long gone cold in the tray but your taste still sits in my teeth
like I brushed twice, smelt nice
still came out with a high underneath
I said I was done with the burning, I swore I was done with the grief
but fresh air brings ruin
when Im trying not to breathe you in

found a lighter in the pocket of some pants I never wear
little red thing, half dead, stood clicking it like it cared
I laughed a bit, then I put it on the side of the chair
like it might come in useful
but its been twenty minutes so Ive basically quit it and I aint going back there

I dont buy rizla now, and dont cut round the crop
dont ask whats happening, so I dont have to pretend I forgot
but my hand still twitches at the end of the night
is it looking for that lighter or a hand on mine

ash long gone cold in the tray but your taste still sits in my teeth
like I brushed twice, smelt nice
still came out with a high underneath
I said I was done with the burning, I swore I was done with the grief
but fresh air brings ruin
when Im trying not to breathe you in

I changed the sheets, changed the rooms, changed the hour I sleep
changed the songs when they came on, changed the side of the street

smoked something different with a laugh that didnt cut quite as deep
it was cheap, it was nice, it was sweet
that was worse, because I always knew it wasnt for me

cos at least when you burnt me, I knew where the pain came from
at least when it hurt, I could say It was cos I had the flame wrong
but, well

ash long gone cold in the tray but your taste still sits in my teeth
like I brushed twice, smelt nice
still came out with a high underneath
I said I was done with the burning, I swore I was done with the grief
but fresh air brings ruin
when Im trying not to breathe you in
