You Were Right

I'm the smoke that's dancing from the tip of that cigarette.
You're nothing more to me than my first regret.
I should forget. But I can't forget.
I haven't gained that strength just yet.
I will forget.
Smoke your cigarette.

I'm the melody that's playing from that violin.
I think about you from time to time, now and then.
But don't deceive. You don't need me.
I don't need you. I don't need a thing.
Now and then,
I don't forget.
Smoke your cigarette. 

Lies you told her,
and now you hold her.
And I'm still one big mess.
You're laughing at me,
But I'm laughing at you.
I must confess.

You were right, I was wrong.
I didn't after need you after all.
Losing you wasn't the worst thing, I could do.
You were right, it was my fault
for believing you for so long.
You told me what to do.

I'm the lie that slips between your lips when you pull her close.
You're the tragedy I seek to get my chorus to close.
But you don't see, what you did for me.
You won't forget, how's that cigarette?

You were right, I was wrong.
I didn't need you after all.
Losing you wasn't the worst thing, I could do.
You were right, it was my fault
for believing you for so long.
You told me what to do.

I was right, it was all wrong.
But you wanted it prolonged.
Losing me, never changed a thing to you.
You were right, I was wrong.
I didn’t need you after all.
Losing you was the best thing, I could do.
Losing you was all that I could do.

I’m the heartbreak that you’ll feel when the time is right.
The victim always sees their doers flame ignite.
Just hold her tight. Close your eyes tonight.
Don’t you ever forget.
Light that cigarette.
