She Tasted Like Cigarettes
Forgotten Promises: The Unraveling of Love in 'She Tasted Like Cigarettes'
Lyrics
I've waiting long enough for you to admit that you were wrong
I've been waiting a significant amount of time for you to acknowledge your mistake
Two years have passed us by and still nothing is alright
Two years have gone by, and things are still not resolved or okay
I always knew that this would be the end of you and me
I always anticipated that our relationship would culminate in this way
And I wont forgive you
I will not grant you forgiveness
When your alibi runs out
When your excuse or defense no longer holds
When they dig through all your lies
When all your falsehoods are exposed
You think you're clever
You believe you're smart, but you're simply running out of excuses
You're just running out of lines
You're running out of ways to justify your actions
When the sheets around your bed
When the circumstances around you become suffocating
Have wrapped around your neck
Symbolizing a situation where the consequences of actions become constricting and threatening
Don't say this was easy
Don't pretend this situation was simple or easy
Just try to breathe
Just try to keep breathing, despite the difficulty
Breathe deeply 'cause I wont let you down
I'm determined not to disappoint or fail you
Breathe deeply, don't make a sound
Breathe deeply and stay quiet, indicating a need for composure and silence
Now I'm oceans apart from you
I am far away from you now
This wont mean anything come tomorrow if we let it go
Whatever is happening won't matter in the future if we allow it to fade
And I can't stand waiting here all alone
I cannot endure waiting in solitude
I wont let you pull me down
I won't allow you to drag me down emotionally or mentally
I'm running away
I am escaping from this situation
And this is the way I'll remember you
This is how I'll recall you until I die
Until my dying day
It will be ingrained in my memory until the end of my life
Breathe deeply 'cause I wont let you down
I am determined not to fail you
Breathe deeply, don't make a sound
Stay calm and composed, keep quiet
Now I'm oceans apart from you
I am distanced from you both physically and emotionally
This wont mean anything come tomorrow if we let it go
What's happening won't matter if we allow it to fade in importance
And I can't stand waiting here all alone
I can't endure waiting alone any longer
I should have known
I should have had foresight about this
All the promises you made to me
All the commitments and assurances you gave were meaningless
Meant absolutely nothing
Your promises held no value or significance
So breathe deeply 'cause I wont let you down
I am determined not to disappoint or fail you
Breathe deeply, don't make a sound
Maintain composure and silence
Now I'm oceans apart from you
I am distanced from you both physically and emotionally
I wont forgive you
I won't grant you forgiveness
No not after this
Especially not after this situation
I wont forgive you
I won't grant you forgiveness
I always knew that this would be the end of you and me
I always anticipated that our relationship would culminate in this way
I wont forgive, I wont forget
I won't grant forgiveness, and I won't forget
I always knew that this would be the end of you and me
I always anticipated that our relationship would culminate in this way
I wont forgive, I wont forget
I won't grant forgiveness, and I won't forget
And I wont let you down
I am determined not to fail you
