Nicotine Princess

What did I do
to deserve this
Black ash and bliss
Nicotine Princess

Wrap your lips around me like I’m your last cigarette
Put me up to your lips so I can be on your breath
Inhale my words till they stick to your soul
We can never grow up so we’ll never get old

Let me melt into you like coffee on ice
Take a sip of me darling and taste me twice
I can give you a buzz you’ll never forget
Dry your watery fear away that leaves you soaking wet

We twist and we tumble together
Like the smoke that stains your walls
The walls that she put up
The walls that I’ll break down
You take the oxygen out of my air
And take my breath away
each time your face appears

Looking at your yellow hands that smell like soot
That kindle my body like fire on wood
Aroused my back rounds my heart pounds and pounds
Take me up to your mouth and put me out

What did I do to deserve this
Black ash and bliss Nicotine Princess
We twist and we tumble together
Like the smoke that stains your walls

The walls that she put up
The walls that I’ll break down
You take the oxygen out of my air
And take my breath away
each time your face appears

Wrap your lips around me like I’m your last cigarette
Put me up to your lips so I can be on your breath
Inhale my words till they stick to your soul
We can never grow up so we’ll never grow old
Let me melt into you like coffee on Ice
Take a sip of me darling and taste me twice
I can give you a buzz you’ll never forget
Dry your watery fear away that leaves you soaking wet

We twist and we tumble together
Like the smoke that stains your walls
The walls that she put up
The walls that I’ll break down
You take the oxygen out of my air
And take my breath away
each time your face appears

I can smell you sometimes when the wind shifts
Take your hands off your hips and blow me a kiss
Black ash and Bliss Nicotine Princess
Burn that cigarette and think of this

Weak or Strong

Whenever you’re…
Weak or strong
Right or wrong
I will be your woman
I’ll give you all that I can

When you’re feeling blue
I will comfort you
I’ll give my everything
You are my destiny

I can’t describe
What I feel inside
Ya know - I once thought
That feeling had died
I know you love me
I think it everyday
In this crowded room
Everyone else fades away

Gonna tell you now
While your listening
There’s no one else
I’d rather be kissing
I can’t tell you that I need you
But I can tell you that I breathe you

There’s no rhyme there’s no reason
On the other side of loneliness
As we sit outside you’d take my hand
And in the sunset we kiss

Snow white magnolias fell on me
Down on the Arborway in Jamaica Plain
I knew things would never be…
Things would never be the same

I know you love me
I think it everyday
In these crowded streets
Everyone else fades away

Lord knows I’ve been kicked down and torn apart
I told you of ex-lovers that broke my heart
You told me Darlin,I won’t do that
And I really believe you

I know I love you
I think it everyday
In this crowded life
Everyone else fades away

Insight

I make believe
I have something to believe in
I make pretend
That we’re still friends
Left over dreams
When I woke up
I believe for a second
That we never broke up

I look through old pictures
Blew the dust off to see us kiss
I wish I knew back then
Not to let go of this

I haven’t seen your eyes sparkle in so long
I think about you through the lyrics
and memories triggered by songs

I haven’t felt safe since the last time you held me
I haven’t felt the warmth since your breath last hit my body
I haven’t felt love since the last time you said you love me

I haven’t felt complete since you left me

Life has moved on and it’s been so many years
The replay of our bitter end still brings me to tears and back
Caz I guess you were the one

if I believed in that

I’m not alone but I’m so lonely
When I’m in my lovers arms
I pretend you’re holding me
And in the back of my mind
I’m still stuck in the past
Yeah, I wanna know if you still love me
But I know enough not to ask

I haven’t felt safe since the last time you held me
And I haven’t felt the warmth since your breath last hit my body
I haven’t felt love since the last time you said you love me
I haven’t felt complete since you left me

If I believe that we
could make it through
I’d spend my nights and days
Solely addicted to you
The good was so great
And the bad was outweighed
Loosing you was my worst fear
Now I am unafraid
