It's worth its weight in gold
And no one has to know
I try not to complain
But I do it anyway
Anyway, anyway, anyway

So start it off in the beginning
You always said it was so bittersweet
How the feeling rushed from your head
And when I swept you off your feet
So hold your head and grow
You always piss and moan
You try not to complain
But you do it anyway

Wake up, wake up I am at your door
And I'm not trying to fight anymore

Smoke and lace
There are things I can't remember, they become so commonplace
Smoke and lace
Take me back to the room that you used to rent
Where every hole was lined with discontent

So hold me close to your chest
And make sure everyone you meet from this point on
Knows that those years were the best
I keep mine close to the others
Cause they come one after another
And I'm a selfish kind of lover
But you knew that anyway

Wake up, wake up I am at your door
And I'm not trying to fight anymore

Smoke and lace
There are things I can't remember, they become so commonplace
Smoke and lace
Take me back to the room that you used to rent
Where every hole was lined with discontent

And I keep the notes you wrote in a drawer in my room
I pull them out and read them
I just don't believe them
I hope you're doing good
You did the best you could
Take what you want from me
I just need room to breath
You've got all the space you're needing
And all of this was so misleading

Smoke and lace
There are things I can't remember, they become so commonplace
Smoke and lace
Take me back to the room that you used to rent
Where every hole was lined with discontent
