Love Through a Cigarette - Malaki

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
