Sometimes you could hear a pin drop or the ticking of the clock Between the surface conversation, no matter what they were saying They never talked
Sometimes I would hear ’em screaming, when they thought that I was sleeping They’d just fight about whatever, I don’t know if they ever had a reason
Am I the product of a problem that I couldn’t change? Got his eyes, got her hair So do I get their mistakes?
I know that you can’t walk across a bridge that’s already burned, so What am I supposed to do?, I can’t help that they chose To breathe it in, but I don’t wanna choke On that secondhand smoke
Sometimes I hear myself saying hand-me-down words It’s so easy to forget that he ain’t him and I ain’t her
And when I think the fighting has to end in a goodbye, I wanna prove me wrong, but I’m scared I’ll prove me right, ’cause
I know that you can’t walk across a bridge that’s already burned, so What am I supposed to do?, I can’t help that they chose To breathe it in, but I don’t wanna choke On that secondhand smoke
Oh, no
Will I be better, find forever, be the one to shake the habit, Break away from broken things, and rise above the ashes?
I know that you can’t walk across a bridge that’s already burned, so What am I supposed to do?, I can’t help that they chose To breathe it in, but I don’t wanna choke No, I ain’t gonna choke On that secondhand smoke
