Veronica Sawyer Smokes - AFI

Uh-oh, my story’s not

The oldest of its kind

I was too touched to see you clearly

Far too young to realize

I, I had loved so dearly

You, whose world I had designed

But the sweet smoke came with mirrors

And it brought tears to my wide eyes

Dying just to see you

Dying since I misconstrued

Your blue heart, black eyes

Feigning falling, words I won’t forget

I died right when I saw you

While you shared that cigarette

Uh-oh, I saw you every time

I closed my eyes

In the Hughes film I had scored

Produced and starred in, in my mind

I, I could recite you well

I’d written every line

But you strayed far from my flawless script

On which I’d spent a lifetime

Falling over dead

Dying since I had misread

Your blue heart, black eyes

Feigning falling, words I won’t forget

I died right when I saw you

While you shared that cigarette

Falling over dead

Dying since I had misread

Your blue heart, black eyes

Feigning falling, words I won’t forget

I died right when I saw you

While you shared that cigarette
