One Last Cigarette (Variation)

One last cigarette on the fire escape The city keeps its secrets at this hour Watching smoke dissolve into the dark Like every thought I've had since you left Not sad about it anymore Just thinking One last cigarette, one last look At the life I thought I'd live One last moment before I go in And let this chapter end Ash and ember, float and fall This is how we let things go Your station's still saved on my radio I never changed it, not sure why Some nights I let it play a song or two Just to hear what you might hear Not holding on anymore Just remembering One last cigarette, one last look At the life I thought I'd live One last moment before I go in And let this chapter end Ash and ember, float and fall This is how we let things go The cold is almost comfortable now The silence isn't empty anymore I've made peace with these four walls And the view they've always had One last cigarette Then I'll go in One last cigarette Then I begin again
