I Don't Smoke (Audiotree Live Version) Lyrics
Mitski
Lyrics
I don't smoke except for when I'm missing you
To remember your mouth, how it tasted true
And I don't smoke except for after I've held you, baby
Being with you makes the flame burn good
So if you need to be mean, be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm as you break my heart
I'm what's left of when we swam under the moon
Now the rest of my days are just waiting for when
You come down and tell me, "I was meant for you", baby
Being with you makes the flame burn good
If you need to be mean, be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm as you break my heart
Just don't leave me alone wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me credit for
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm as you break my heart
