Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sink is full of ash And your blue cup’s on its side Half a pack by the phone Like you left it there in stride Your jacket on the chair Still shaped like your goodbye I trace the burnt edge slow Like I might get you back tonight [Pre-Chorus] I said I’d leave it all But I keep one more Hands on the counter Eyes on the door The room won’t settle down It keeps your shape And every little silence Tastes like the same mistake [Chorus] Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. You come back in the smoke Then you’re gone again Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. I hold the match too long Just to feel you burn [Verse 2] There’s a dent in the couch Where you used to fall asleep Your lipstick on the glass And a ring in the sink I keep the window cracked For the night to bleed in But it only brings your laugh And the ache under my skin [Pre-Chorus] I said I’d cut it clean But I keep one more The ash on my tongue The knock at the door The room won’t settle down It keeps your shape And every little silence Tastes like the same mistake [Chorus] Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. You come back in the smoke Then you’re gone again Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. I hold the match too long Just to feel you burn [Bridge] If I dump the rest Will you fade for good? Or stay in the carpet Like you knew you would I don’t want your ghost I want your name But it lands in my mouth Like a strip of flame [Chorus] Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. You come back in the smoke Then you’re gone again Cigarettes at three a.m. Cigarettes at three a.m. I hold the match too long Just to feel you burn
