Lyrics
Look at you
Observing the person
It seems you're never enough
Feeling insufficient or not satisfying
And so you get on the call
Initiating communication
And then you ask me to talk about you
Requesting information about themselves
How you are so far ahead and
Expressing superiority or advancement
How your beauty's so rare and
Complimenting their rare beauty
How you never grew old and I do
Highlighting youthfulness contrasted with the speaker
I lie to you cause your smile is more than a million dollars can do
Lying to maintain a positive atmosphere
But I can't bear yeah it's so unfair
Expressing difficulty in coping with the situation
I just need a cigarette
Expressing a need for a cigarette
To get you out of my head
Using a cigarette as a coping mechanism
Tell me what more can I do
Seeking advice on dealing with emotions
'Cause every time that I hear your voice
Feeling overshadowed by the person's voice
It seems like I'm just a ghost
Sense of being unnoticed or insignificant
So I talk to the ghost of you
Communicating with memories of the person
And in the smoke I see your face through a thousand broken angles
Seeing the person's face in the smoke metaphorically
So I'll finish this cigarette and hopefully I'll forget
Hopeful about forgetting the person
Everything I've ever known about you
Desiring to erase memories of the person
I'll find a way for us to make it right
Commitment to finding a solution for the relationship
I'll find my way through all of this in time
Belief in overcoming challenges with time
'Cause even though you're never there and there's always things to repair,
Expressing fear of loneliness
I just don't wanna be alone
Rejecting solitude
I can't seem to understand the feeling, was it ever there
Uncertainty about the authenticity of emotions
Or was it just the chemicals
Questioning if feelings were influenced by chemicals
I just need a cigarette
Reiteration of the need for a cigarette
To get you out of my head
Using a cigarette to distract from thoughts
Tell me what more can I do
Seeking solutions to emotional distress
'Cause every time that I hear your voice
Feeling haunted by the person's voice
It seems like I'm just a ghost
Perceiving oneself as invisible or intangible
So I talk to the ghost of you
Engaging with memories of the person in a symbolic way
And in the smoke I see your face through a thousand broken angles
Seeing the person's face in smoke again
So I'll finish this cigarette and hopefully I'll forget
Hoping that finishing the cigarette will aid forgetting
Everything I've ever known about you
Reiterating the desire to erase memories
You
Repetition emphasizing the pervasive nature of memories
Everything I've ever known about you
-You
-Everything I've ever known about you
-You
-Everything I've ever known about you
-You
-Everything I've ever known about you
