Lyrics

I'm staring at a strand of smoke from the Camel I just lit
Thinking about my life and the two things I can't quit
I guess there are some things it's best to never start
You and these cigarettes are hard on my heart

I shouldn't have to sit up wondering where you are tonight
If these damn smokes don't kill me loving you just might
'Cause God help me living with you is tearing me apart
You and these cigarettes are hard on my heart

In a few more hours you'll come stumbling through that door
Begging for forgiveness like a dozen times before

I tear the cellophane off a brand new pack
I've filled up this ashtray and still you ain't back
I light up and take a pull, it glows amber in the dark
You and these cigarettes are hard on my heart

I swear tonight I'll break this hold you have on me
I just pray the cure ain't worse than the disease

They say some bad habits leave a lasting mark
You and these cigarettes are hard on my heart
