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
