Last Cigarette
Burning Love and Broken Habits: Last Cigarette Lyrics Unveiled
Lyrics
3 days over i'm barely breathing
Expressing a difficult period, feeling physically and emotionally strained.
Looking back on the things i've done
Reflecting on past actions and experiences.
I thought i was done with healing
Believed the process of emotional recovery was complete.
My heart over love gone wrong
Heartache from a failed romantic relationship.
Your love is like the air i breathe
Comparing the significance of the lover's presence to essential air.
Oh no oxygen ain't enough
Expressing that mere existence or basic needs are not sufficient without the lover.
I think i was born to love you
Feeling a natural inclination or destiny to love the person.
One things for sure there ain't no doubt
Asserting the certainty of love, without any hesitation.
And now i'm standing here without you
Presenting the current state of being without the lover.
No curtain call no one to take a bow
No acknowledgment or recognition for the emotional pain.
No it ain't over til it's over
Emphasizing that closure is not reached until it truly ends.
And i don't think my times up yet
Rejecting the idea that time has run out for a resolution.
My lungs are still burning for you
Intensity of emotional longing, using the metaphor of burning lungs.
Like my last cigarette
Drawing a parallel between the persistent yearning and the sensation of the last cigarette.
Thought by now i'd quit my bad habits
Expectation of overcoming personal vices or coping mechanisms.
All those things that take the pain away
Referencing habits used to alleviate emotional pain.
But what i realized in your absence
Realization that these coping mechanisms are necessary in the absence of the lover.
Need them all to fill this empty space
Dependence on vices to fill the emotional void left by the lover.
Take me back to when we started
Nostalgia for the initial stages of the relationship when everything was clear.
Oh when everything seemed so clear
Yearning to return to a time when the relationship was less complicated.
I think i was born to love you
Reiteration of the innate or destined love for the person.
And i will until my dying breath
Commitment to love until the end of life.
And i'll be standing here beside you
Promise to stand by the person despite uncertain time remaining.
For whatever time we got left
Expressing devotion for the remaining time together.
Cause it ain't over til it's over
Emphasizing that closure is elusive until the very end.
Oh and i ain't giving up quite yet
Defiance against giving up despite challenges.
My lungs are still burning for you
Intense and enduring desire, likened to the burning sensation for the person.
Like my last cigarette
Reiterating the intensity of yearning using the metaphor of the last cigarette.
Like my last cigarette
Final comparison, reinforcing the persistence of emotional longing.
