[Intro]
N.C.
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
N.C.
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
N.C.
No insurance to pay for the damage
N.C.
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Verse 1]

I've been smoking, oh

More than twenty a day

Don't blame it on me

Swore to never change

Give you my forgiveness

No friends to turn to

Wish we could smoke again

Just for a day, oh
