I Don’t Smoke Lyrics by Mitski

Bury Me at Makeout Creek

2014

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm what's left of when we swam under the moon
Now the rest of my days are just waiting for when
You've calmed down and tell me, "I was meant for you"
Baby, being with you makes the flame burn good
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Just don't leave me alone wondering where you are
I am stronger than you give me credit for
[Outro]
If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm as you break my heart
