  • The cigarette smoke
    Is a smell that I know
    It clings to my clothes
    And seeps into my bones
    It's a real quiet house
    With the shower left on
    Five beers in the fridge
    And the second car's gone

    I regret you
    And how long I stayed
    I resent you
    For not being brave, oh

    Tell me something honest
    So the memories turn dark
    You said that I made loving look easy
    Until I made it hard
    Give me back my time and I will
    Give you back your heart
    I thought that we played the perfect couple
    Until you didn't want the part

    Some nights can be
    Low down and lonely
    But it's better than begging
    For you to stand up for me, honeybee

    I regret you
    And what I let slide
    I resent you
    For taking her side, oh

    Tell me something honest
    So the memories turn dark
    You said that I made loving look easy
    Until I made it hard
    Give me back my time
    And I will give you back your heart
    I thought that we played the perfect couple
    Until you didn't want the part

    It's bone-dry, bitter and hollow
    You'll be miles away tomorrow
    Why'd I try at all?
    It's bone-dry, bitter and hollow
    You will never know my sorrow
    Why'd I try at all?

    Tell me something honest
    So the memories turn dark
    Oh, the memories go dark
    The memories go dark
    The memories go dark
    The memories go dark
    Go dark
    Go dark Writer/s: Daniel Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo
