I'm in bed right now,
You're probably on the terrace,
I'm nursing a cold,
You're pretending you smoke to your friends,
My arms hurt as hell right now,
You're going high to the clouds,
I was such a good influence,
I went away and you're crumbling now.

If I got on a plane,
I would get a one way ticket,
Swear all my friends to radio silence,
Just to be sure you would never find it.

You were my oxygen,
Now I want to run out of breath,
Does your mom know you're smoking,
Does she know everyday you're staring death
In the face, boy, can you two time,
I thought you were worth a dime,
Go off with your other girl,
I'll find someone who gives me his world.

Fresh off the plane in a new city,
I can hear your number text me,
Says "I'm sorry baby,
You know I just want you back."
Counting the crystals,
The rings on my fingers,
The silence lingers, broken timbers,
I'm not even sorry about that.

If I got in the first cab,
I would just drive away,
Meet someone on an island unlike you,
Someone who would never stray.
Don't try to blame me,
Don't try to make a fuss,
We both know you did it to yourself,
You know you did, you fucking castaway.

You were my oxygen,
Now I just want smoke,
You can stare death in the face,
Now I want your memories to go.
Your mom's okay, your dad isn't, just call him back,
I don't want to say a single word about them,
So I'll just stop at that.

If I was oxygen,
The world knew you were the smoke,
If this relationship was a heartbeat,
Why don't I go choke?
