The Cigarette

[Verse] In the dimly lit room, a flicker in the dark A cigarette burns with a fleeting spark But the flame starts to wane, it's losing its might Just like our love, slowly fading out of sight [Verse 2] The smoke dances in the air, it drifts away Like memories of you, growing faint each day And as the embers die, so does my desire To keep holding on, to keep feeding the fire [Chorus] The cigarette light goes out, and so does my hope In the ashes of what we had, I'm left to cope A love that once burned bright, now lost in the haze I'll flick the lighter again, but it won't be the same [Verse 3] In the quiet of the night, reflections in the glow, Of a lighter's flame, that once made our love show. But now it lights my path, in the solitude I tread, Finding strength within, with every step ahead. [Chorus] The cigarette light goes out, and so does my hope, In the ashes of what we had, I'm left to cope. A love that once burned bright, now lost in the haze, I'll flick the lighter again, but it won't be the same. [Bridge] But in the darkness, I see, a spark that's purely mine, A light from within, that eternally will shine. No longer just a flicker, in someone else's flame, I am my own fire, resilient and untamed. [Chorus] The cigarette light goes out, and so does my hope, In the ashes of what we had, I'm left to cope. A love that once burned bright, now lost in the haze, I'll flick the lighter again, finding my own blaze. [Outro] As dawn breaks the night, and shadows fade away, I'm walking on, to greet the light of day. With every flame that dies, a new fire is born, Beyond the fall, I rise, in the breaking dawn.
