Lyrics Love Through a Cigarette - Malaki

Love Through a Cigarette

Lies left him lost
Cost him to be lethargic
Who knew he’d need a heartbreak
Just to get his life started
'Cause love to me is sacred
I don’t hate you I just hate that you made it
But hatred comes young
Kiss the thumb till your faded
Smiles through a glass
Sworn souls, thought we traded
Told me love’s worn off
Well I’ve just begun
See I’ve had relationships but they were just for fun
But this is just bliss, so hush miss and trust this
It’s sweet
Leave me by the speaker with a treat just once a week
'Cause I want more but the novelty has worn
So I’ll keep begging till you realise you’ve sworn
'Till these real eyes are scorned
Through the love we swore
But much like my jumper
You ripped, you slipped and it’s torn
This love is learning, burning, churching at first
Lasts as long as a cigarette it’s a gift and a curse
Now the brevity of cigarette
Is a memory of the time you left
Flick of the flint
Trickle of the fresh breath
Click it for a mint
Now I’m sitting tastefully
Thinking 'bout those lips
'Cause it’s been fucking days for me
Since I’ve had a fucking kiss
Quit the Js to see another lover sucking bliss
Now you’ve got a brother pissed
Now you’ve got a brother pissed
Start the track so I can get another pack of blue
By the time you finish that cigarette
Is the time I think back, we’re through
That love to me was pure
But filled with poison
So take another drag and watch that fucking filter moisten
Shake the head
I’m glad I hear the kettle boiling
Sorry baby, time to go
One last drag, this love is spoiling
Hold me in her fingers like she’s holding her fag
Ask her for a toke while she offers a drag
I guess opposites attract
Breaks the silence with a slag and a giggle
Wriggles in the sheets, fiddle with her feet
It’s the middle of the week and I already feel complete
There’s more puzzles to this piece
But I’m not that clever
As the night begins to creep
So does regret
Now I find her by the window blowing smoke from a cigarette
See things don’t last forever
Unless it’s friendly
See I was Peter Pan and she was just my Wendy
Never again in Neverland I’d leave that window closed
Wipes the tears with one hand
And the other to his nose
See some days I wish that love was just so sweet
But love costs a penny and leaves you in your sleep
Share your screams through a pillow
Check the wind around the willow
'Cause when you fall from heathens
Yes you fall so deep
Addictions you tried to quit
Feel consumed by the world
Addictions you tried to kick
But I was addicted to this girl
Love doesn’t burn forever
And I know that sounds rough
But what if there’s a difference
Between having sex and making love
Love doesn’t burn forever
And I know that sounds rough
But what if there’s a difference
Between having sex and making love
Man I don’t know
Plans I try to control
Moulded in her palms
Just two young souls
Now at times I feel chilly when it’s not even cold
I’d love a smoke, a drive and just
Idle
Go back home and listen to my vinyl
But that just reinvokes memories I don’t wanna get
Waking up choking
Thinking of a remedy but
I guess the only remedy was that time we met
Love through a cigarette
