Blowing Smoke

I cut the rope and you fell from the tower

I let it go for my peace of mind

Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt

But I still hate the image of you kissing her

Chalk it up to "it's all for the better"

And I bet you're at her place right now

You're taking off your shoes, she's lying down

Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool, like are you even interested?

I know what you are, brighter than the stars

Tell me if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke, I'll say what they won't

I know everything they don't

I hear your voice like a boom in my tower

I sleep alone, I'm completely fine

And you look stupid going out

If she's got a pulse, she meets your standards now?

You feel nothing and yet you still let her

But I bet you're at her place right now

You couldn't point her out in any crowd

Tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool, like are you even interested?

I know what you are, brighter than the stars

Tell me if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke, I'll say what they won't

I'll know everything they don't

And I find your books pretentious now

At the time they'd fed the fantasy

I was so impressed at your hotel

Took a drag and read aloud to me

And you knew my last love let me down

It was your one perfect opening

And I bet you think about me now

When you should be sleeping

But tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?

Are your conversations cool, like are you even interested?

I know what you are, brighter than the stars

Tell me if she takes you far

Far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying

Up another hill to all the girls who'll help you bury it

They're just blowing smoke (smoke)

I'll say what they won't (won't)

I know everything (thing) they don't (hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I (hey, hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I know, I (hey, hey, hey)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

And I know, I
