Cigarette Burns

Verse 1

Ash on the floor, and the night won’t end

Your shadow crawls back like a long‑lost friend

Every lie you told still smokes in my lungs

I taste the poison on the tip of your tongue

Pre‑Chorus

You left your mark like a brand on my skin

Said it was love, but it felt like sin

Chorus

Cigarette burns on the back of my mind

Little reminders of the things I survived

You lit the fuse, then you watched me ignite

But I’m still standing in the flicker of the light

Verse 2

You carved your name in the cracks of my ribs

A souvenir from the life we lived

I scrubbed the scars but they don’t wash clean

They glow like embers when I try to sleep

Pre‑Chorus

You left your mark like a brand on my skin

Said it was love, but it felt like sin

Chorus

Cigarette burns on the back of my mind

Little reminders of the things I survived

You lit the fuse, then you watched me ignite

But I’m still standing in the flicker of the light

Bridge

I won’t be your ashtray anymore

I’m kicking your ghost right out the door

You can keep the smoke, keep the flame

I’m done being fuel for your twisted game

Final Chorus

Cigarette burns on the back of my mind

But they don’t own me, not this time

You lit the fuse, but I rewired the fire

Now I’m the spark, and I’m climbing higher
