Wasting Away

In the morning before the
Weight of the day struck
I almost wanted you here to stay

But I got a headache
And you get impatient
You're running while I hit the breaks

If these cigarettes burn my chest
Then maybe I'll cut out the rest
Can't add another fire to the flame

Keep me in your mind I swear
Maybe someday I'll get there
But for now I'm stuck wasting away

You made up your mind
While you dig into mine
And I'm scared you won't like what I think

Is my misdirection
Clouding your vision
I never meant to lead you this way

If these cigarettes burn my chest
Then maybe I'll cut out the rest
Can't add another fire to the flame

Keep me in your mind I swear
Maybe someday I'll get there
But for now I'm stuck wasting away

Ooooo ...

If these cigarettes burn my chest
Then maybe I'll cut out the rest
Can't add another fire to the flame

Keep me in your mind I swear
Maybe someday I'll get there
But for now I'm stuck wasting away
