Tsew The Kid
Cigarette
I see her burning
I see us burning
It does

I was waiting for you in this café in Paris, I'm sitting
I'm looking at the city, I see you arriving by taxi
You were beautiful but this time I didn't tell you
We were two at the table but so alone in our minds
You order a coffee and so do I
You light your last cigarette in front of me at the end of your lips
I don't know what to tell you or how to explain it
I don't want you in my life anymore but my heart wants to keep you
Yeah, it's hard to think that tomorrow
I'll wake up solo with a few less dreams
No, I can't stand it, but I'm firm in my gaze ready to say goodbye
And then time, I see it burning
We already know things so there's no need to shout
We look each other in the eyes through the smoke
Until your last breath crashes into the ashtray

All that will remain are a few photos of you
All that will remain are a few photos of you
And a trace of lipstick on a cigarette
A trace of lipstick on a cigarette
All that will remain are a few photos of you
All that will remain are a few photos of you
And a trace of lipstick on a cigarette
A trace of lipstick on a cigarette

And time consumes me
But I assume it
You were a ring around me, I was Saturn
And yeah, I'm burning
But I assume it
You were a ring around me when I was Saturn

Ayo fuck I see her leaving there
I have big regrets in my head
Ayo Tsew, they told you no no don't go
In my mouth, I have a bitter taste
Ok shit, maybe I should catch up with you
I'm capable of saying "mmh it's not serious"
I have to tell myself that deep down everything is over
Why do I still tell myself that I'll go to your place to pick up my clothes?
And then time, I see it burning, I have to assume
We already know things so there's no need to shout
We looked each other in the eyes through the fog
Your last breath died with your cigarette in the ashtray
I still wanted to say goodbye to you
To see your last tear
A hope
No

All that will remain are a few photos of you
All that will remain are a few photos of you
And a trace of lipstick on a cigarette
Trace of lipstick on a cigarette
