Bone tired eyes
That ghost of a smile
Faded familiarity
I haven't recognized you in quite a while
A shadow of the woman I used to know
Oh such a long long  time ago
You bring that cigarette to your lips
I wonder if you'll ever quit
You take a drag say it's your last
Then take another from the pack
You've taught me people never change
We're all dying anyway
