Tami Neilson Cigarette
[Verse 1]
In the time it took to smoke your cigarette
You left me with a lifetime to forget
You came home in the morning and said you'd found someone
And just like that, the world came undone
In the time it took to smoke your cigarette
[Verse 2]
In the time it takes for me to make the bed
I realise your side is mine again
Think I'll go to town, get some pretty new sheets
Put 'em on and cover up your memory
In the time it takes for me to make the bed
[Chorus]
But living a lifetime without you
Is something I never thought I'd do
'Til death do us part
These days don't get you far
Leaves you feeling like a fool
[Verse 3]
In the time it takes to put my lipstick on
Slip off this diamond ring I'm gonna pawn
And settle for less than what it cost
Like the promise you made with your fingers crossed
In the time it takes to put my lipstick on
[Chorus]
But living a lifetime without you
Is something I never thought I'd do
'Til death do us part
These days don't get you far
Leaves you feeling like a fool
[Verse 4]
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
I'll burn you to the ground and I'll forget
Yeah, I've started smoking one a day
To breathe you out of me 'til there's no pain
And figure out how to throw a love away
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
