Powdered Promises

You showed up like a late-night storm Leather jacket, eyes half-worn Said you’d changed, said you’d grown But your voice felt like a dial tone Ashes falling from your sleeve Every word just make-believe I knew better, still I stayed Drawn into the mess you made You say it’s different now But I’ve heard that line before It’s your vodka breath and powdered promises Kissing me like they don’t exist You pull me close just to disappear Leave me drowning in the atmosphere Yeah your vodka breath and powdered promises Every touch feels counterfeit I try to love you but it’s pointless You’re just smoke and powdered promises Bathroom lights and broken glass Conversations never last You were laughing, I was numb Waiting for what you’d become Static playing in my head Every word you never said I kept hoping you were real But you only made me feel Like I was someone else Just a ghost inside your war It’s your vodka breath and powdered promises Kissing me like they don’t exist You pull me close just to disappear Leave me drowning in the atmosphere Yeah your vodka breath and powdered promises Every touch feels counterfeit I try to love you but it’s pointless You’re just smoke and powdered promises I tried to save you from yourself But you were never mine to help Every high just dragged me low I should’ve let you go Your words don’t mean a thing Your touch don’t feel the same I’m done chasing shadows I’m done playing your game It’s your vodka breath and powdered promises Burning through me like a hit You pull me close just to disappear Leave me shattered in the atmosphere Yeah your vodka breath and powdered promises Finally I’m done with it I won’t love you if it’s pointless You’re just smoke… and powdered promises Yeah you’re just smoke And I’m finally breathing again
