Up In Smoke
Love's Inferno: A Melodic Odyssey of Burning Desires
Lyrics
Put me in your mouth I still taste her on your lips
Expresses feeling the presence of someone else (her) despite being involved with the current person.
You wear a blank stare while my heart does backflips
Observing the partner's distant or indifferent demeanor causing personal emotional turmoil.
You know I can't trust and that's why we are alone
There's a lack of trust in the relationship, which contributes to their loneliness or isolation.
I'm always around but you're never home
Physically present but emotionally disconnected; partner is unavailable despite being there.
You burn me up but you smoke her
Metaphorically being hurt by the partner's actions or emotions directed elsewhere.
I lie awake but you won't stir
Feeling restless while the partner remains unresponsive or unengaged.
Make me breathe like a smoker
Desiring to feel alive or invigorated, akin to the sensation of smoking.
I think you like how I suffer

Passion's not a choice but it's something you wear

In one ear out the other like I never spoke at all

Hands like a rope, pin me up against the wall

You burn me up but you smoke her

Never been so jealous of a loner

Thought of you with them makes me feel queasy

Spin me around until I'm dizzy

You keep on lying that you're busy

Maybe you don't like me 'cause I'm pissy
