The Phoenix Method - Cinnamon Smoke (Knew Me Well)

You knew me so well
And I couldn't tell
That I was wrong

And you couldn't stop me
Cause I couldn't tell
That I'd done wrong

You know me well
And how I get stuck
Damn neuro-divergence
Plus my heart be virgin

So pure for love
At least I be hoping
Cause with all I smoking
It's all that be left to

Be, and what little
I got left in my skull
Is writing this song
So I can let go

I know you forgive me
For being so dumb
And I'd like to believe
That life did us wrong

In having this ended
Hoping that this time
Things will play out right
And we will still talk like in high school

Cause dammit, you saved me
With yo life you gave me
Had friends there, and
They tried to help me

But things never worked
Was stuck in denial
Denied suicidal
But that thought was bridal

Held onto my brain
It drove me insane
Till I learned to love you
Forgot what I knew

Cause your wonderful smell
Of cinnamon smoke
And cigarette sticks
They had me in awe

Cause never before
Did I ever think
That I would love
The smell of smoke before

I knew from then
I loved you

You knew me so well
And I couldn't tell
That I'd done wrong

Had my heart on my sleeve
So couldn't believe
That I was wrong

And I'll wear you like
The heart I left out for you
I will be true
I promise that to you

Cause life has been hard on you
So I'll push through

Cause your wonderful smell
Of cinnamon smoke
And cigarette sticks
They had me in awe

Cause never before
Did I ever think
That I would love
The smell of smoke before

I knew from then
I loved you

And I never learned to love
The man I was before
I never looked back at my past
And regretted what I adored

But now I see
Yea it's plain to me
The man I was before
No care for his life
But the life where he could love you more

So I'll wait up
I'll push through
I'll be true

I promised you
That I'll be
There for you
That I'll be
Your support
I don't care
Know we ain't
Flames no more
But the spark
Never fade
Heat was there
Heart is here
There will be
Smoke for you
I will be true to you

Cause you knew me so well
And still stuck around
When I was wrong

And I didn't think
But here I am now
And I won't be wrong

I knew from then
I loved you

I knew from then
I loved you

And I never learned to love
The man I was before
I never looked back at my past
And regretted what I adored

But now I see
Yea it's plain to me
The man I was before
No care for his life
But the life where he could love you more
