Turned to Smoke Lyrics

Gotta say I miss the man I was before our paths aligned

Everyday I'd wake up thinking this world could be mine

God had other plans and now I'm running through its course

But I ain't sure how much more of this shit I can endure

Started out so perfect, thought we were headed for a ring

You called me your beloved but I's just your summer fling

They say we moved too quick, I guess they were right

I put a whole life's worth of loving you into a short damn block of time

You said you loved me too that morning and I went off to work

Then you called me up that evening just to kick me to the curb

In retrospect, I suspect you fell for him long ago

So you strung me around until you found an excuse to let me go

I wish I could say that if you called, I would tell you to go to hell

But Lord knows better this ole boy can only wish you well

I still remember all the words to that song for you I wrote

But I balled it up, lit that match and my love letter to you

Turned to smoke

You see me in a different light, cause you believe in your own lies

You wreak havoc on my name, how the hell do you sleep at night

Telling all your folks that you'd be my wife someday

Come to find out you say that shit about every man you date

I won't ever forget all the smiles that we shared

You claimed all your past lovers never could compare

But you tossed me out so easy and it's left a lasting mark

It cuts just like a knife going through my fucking heart

Wish I could say if you called, I would tell you to go to hell

But Lord knows better this ole boy can only wish you well

I still remember all the words to that song for you I wrote

But I balled it up, lit that match and my love letter to you

Turned to smoke

Turned to smoke

You take no accountability for the shit that you did wrong

Now I see that your intentions never held weight all along

Forgiveness ain't no sin, but forgiving you feels like one

Believing in your love is the most foolish thing I've done
