addiction isnt good for us
we'll die someday
its your fault, you got me hooked
and now i'll die someday
you got to choose, i got dragged in
all the pictures you took, places youve been
fly like smoke up over our heads
i'm addicted to second-hand smoke
i can never kick the habit, i blame it on you
drove with a cigarrette dangling in your fingers
i listened to your stories of kids too perfect for their own good
you breathed out words in ghastly shapes
on our walks up and down a dream on jamerson
now i'm addicted to the to the memory
i'm addicted to your second-hand smoke
and i will die someday
ive been fighting off withdrawal
cant sleep, cant stay awake
the only one who understood me took his habit and he flew up north
he will die someday
happy being me,  smoky rings of freedom
now i'm addicted to second-hand smoke
and i know we'll die someday

We're all going to die someday -- it's a question of regret and forgiveness...  Interesting write.  Welcome, stranger...

i understand this.  I get firsthand smoke all the time and Ive tried to quit and its not that easy.  Then on another wave its like the person who breaths the secondhand at you is someone you care about.

We are ALL breathing second hand smoke, and if that doesn't get us, you can bet something else will when it's time for us to go!!  The trick is to figure out who and what is good for your life, then get rid of what isn't.  Enjoyed this read for your first post, and welcome to you, friend!!  ~S~
