[Verse 1]
Cigarettes in the morning taste
Better than the warnings I ignored
Turns out that they're better friends than the ones I kept
They don't lie, it says it on the side
That they can kill me faster than anything
They can't cause the pain that you've caused me
They can't take the breath that you took from me

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you left me half alive
And told me to survive
And I didn't have a God and I didn't have a guidе
I was only sixteen feeling like I'm born to die
How has nicotine bеcome a lifeline

[Chorus]
Tar on my tongue
Smoke in my lungs
That's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage
Caused my panic
That won't let me breathe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I got nothin' left anymore (oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
But my cigarettes in the morning
[Verse 2]
I was the life of the party
So no-one would know I was bleeding out
Someone said, "There's another round"
I'm the first one there to choke it down

[Pre-Chorus]
The glitter on my eyes
Just the pretty way to lie
Fuckin with my friends
Saying that I wanna die
Ain't no party trick
I'm lookin' for a fix
Every line was playin' Russian roulette
In my mind

[Chorus]
Tar on my tongue
Smoke in my lungs
That's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage
Caused my panic
That won't let me breathe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I got nothin' left anymore (oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
But my cigarettes in the morning
[Bridge]
I don't know how I'm still alive
I'm killing myself inside
I guess that God decides
Someone give me a light

[Chorus]
Tar on my tongue
Smoke in my lungs
That's not what's killing me
Damned by the damage
Caused my panic
That won't let me breathe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I got nothin' left anymore (oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
But my cigarettes in the morning
