Cigarette Songtext
von Laura Bell Bundy

Shoulda stayed lonely
Shoulda stayed bored and broken
I shoulda been alright, just for the night
But this noise in my head
Or my cold empty bed
Makes me need something
To pass the time
Damn this old weakness
The first taste of sweetness
The lump in my throat
You give a girl enough rope

Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
Shoulda been drinking just to forget
Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette


Tried to put you out
Tried to clear the air
But I′m breathing your breath
As I die a slow death
What burns like a flash is
Ashes to ashes

Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
Shoulda been drinking just to forget
Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette

Shoulda closed my eyes to dream
About you holding me

Shoulda let my hair down for dancing
Shoulda wrapped myself in a blanket
Shoulda been drinking just to forget
Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette
Shoulda left my lipstick on a cigarette
