Secondhand Smoke (demo version)
[Intro]
Okay, uh, this is a song called "Secondhand Smoke" and I just wrote it this morning, so

[Verse 1]
I'll admit I had fun
Getting wrapped up in your misery
But look at what it's done to me
And I thought it was love
But you couldn't fill my missin' piece
Or take responsibility

[Pre-Chorus]
With every word you say
Like smokin' a pack a day
Set up the world you hate
For me to fix
I know you'll never change
You'll never take the blame
I shouldn't have to save
Every mess

[Chorus]
I have to let you go
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
I cannot let it show
I'm afraid that you've ruinеd my lungs
Now I have to run, I have to move on
What will I bеcome without you? I don't know
But I have to let you go
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
[Verse 2]
What are the side effects
Of being held down for years
By complaints and fake fears?
I guess I made my bed
And I'm leavin' it here
Hope I'm makin' that clear

[Pre-Chorus]
With every word you say
Like smokin' a pack a day
Set up the world you hate
For me to fix
I know you'll never change
You'll never take the blame
I shouldn't have to save
Every mess

[Chorus]
I have to let you go
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
I cannot let it show
I'm afraid that you've ruined my lungs
Now I have to run, I have to move on
What will I become without you? I don't know
But I have to let it go
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
[Bridge]
With all of this shit you're talkin'
I inhaled all of your toxins
Try buildin' a wall around this town
I can't be drowned, I'm movin' out

[Chorus]
I finally let you go
Exhaled the secondhand smoke
I stayed around too long
Still afraid that you've ruined my lungs
Now I'm on the run, I've almost moved on
What will I become without you? Now I know
I have to let you go
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
Breathe out the secondhand smoke
