I've got these pains I keep in my chest With the smoke I'm breathing in Old habits I can't quit Like trying to stop my heart, keep it from breaking I start and then I stop and I start up again I've got these empty hands Can't hold on to nothing Strike a match and to my lips Old habits I can't quit Like my old parlour tricks Trying to catch your attention We start and then we stop And we won't ever talk again (x2) Got a secret I couldn't keep All the pretty girls want to take 'em from me (x6) We start and then we stop And we won't ever talk again
