Smoke Lyrics by TENDER

III

2016

[Verse 1]
Playing with fire
As the room fills up with smoke
It's my burning desire
To fix what isn't broke

[Verse 2]
Now, tell me I'm wrong again
I was left to my own devices
Thought I'd found a friend
Smoke and mirrors made in your likeness

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all on me for you
It's all I ever wanted to do
And I wouldn't change a thing

[Chorus]
Loving you's like holding smoke
My countless tries become a joke
I can't stop wanting you
And all these things that you do
You're like an anchor on my soul
The fear of death running through my bones
This old room with a view
I'm holding on for something new

[Verse 2]
Now tell me I'm wrong again
I was left to my own devices
Thought I'd found a friend
Smoke and mirrors made in your likeness

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all on me for you
It's all I ever wanted to do
And I wouldn't change a thing

[Chorus]
Loving you'ss like holding smoke
My countless tries become a joke
I can't stop wanting you
And all these things that you do
You're like an anchor on my soul
The fear of death running through my bones
This old room with a view
I'm holding on for something new
