Secondhand Smoke lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, mm
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the product of a problem
That I couldn't change?
Got his eyes, got her hair
So do I get their mistakes?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I think fighting
Has to end in a goodbye
I wanna prove me wrong
But I'm scared I'll prove me right 'cause

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no

[Bridge]
Will I be better? Find forever?
Be the one to shake the habit?
Break away from broken things
And rise above the ashes?

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh
