Whiskey and Cigarettes

lyrics

I ain’t afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
you put them safely in your vest
you keep them close to your chest.

And then you go back out there every night
and you find one that won’t put up a fight
and you take her hand you hold it tight and whisper
“baby, it will be alright”

But she don’t know what you hide behind that smile
so she’ll let you touch and kiss her for a while
you make the broken hot go from hot to mild
you like to fix then break
that’s just your style.

I hope you fall in love
and fall flat
you set the ground rules.

I ain’t afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
you put them safely in your vest
you keep them close to your chest.

But Im not another trophy, heart shaped flag
you can’t go around and show me off and brag
I gave you love now I wan’t it back
I am a heart attack.

But she don’t know what you hide behind that smile
so she’ll let you touch and kiss her for a while
you make the broken hot go from hot to mild
you like to fix then break
that’s just your style.

I hope you fall in love
and fall flat
you set the ground rules.
