burn out

watchin' cigarettes burn out, 'til all the neon gets turned out, i was so on fire for you it hurts how, fast that a cigarette can burn out, just watchin' rivers run, down the side of my bottle, almost like it's cryin' my tears, i had the world on a string, and then i lost everything, and that's how i wound up here, watchin' cigarettes burn out, 'til all the neon gets turned out, there's nothing left but empty glasses now, it's all flashes now, smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes, in the low lights, these done-me-wrong songs hit me so right, i was so on fire for you it hurts how, fast that a cigarette can burn out, if you put your hands on the flame, you've got no right to complain, 'cause you know it's gonna leave a mark, when the glow comes to an end, like scattered embers in the wind, leaves you lookin' for a brand new spark, watchin' cigarettes burn out, no, with every hit, i'm gonna quit, but who am i kiddin' i just can't put you down, so i keep hangin' around, watchin' cigarettes burn out, 'til all the neon gets turned out, there's nothing left but empty glasses now, it's all flashes now, smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes, in the low lights, these done-me-wrong songs hit me so right, i was so on fire for you it hurts how, fast that a cigarette can burn out, i was so on fire for you it hurts how, fast that a cigarette can burn out
