1.In the passenger seat, the smell of an iQOS
2.You’ve been smoking again, haven’t you?
3.I tease you
4.Pretending to be annoyed by the smoke5.
6.You say my breath smells like cigarettes again
7.And treat me like a child
8.Tangled up with you
9.Tomorrow still feels so far away10.
11.“Go buy me some coffee,” you say
12.As I’m wrapped in your down jacket
13.“Don’t I look like your girlfriend?” I blurt out
14.And you brush me off like I’m an annoyance15.
16.The scent of Marlboros—
17.It’s starting to feel comforting
18.That smell of yours, oh…
19.Even now, it lingers in my hair when I look back20.
21.Seeing you walking with someone else
22.I forget how to breathe
23.“Who is she?” I ask
24.And you dismiss it all, brushing me aside again25.
26.Burning through our youth like cigarettes
27.You light me up and take a drag
28.“I’m not even your girlfriend,” I spit out
29.But I can’t find the words to argue back30.
31.The scent of Marlboros—
32.It takes me back to those times
33.That smell of yours still—
34.Even now, it lingers in my hair when I look back35.
36.Falling in love, unable to quit
37.It’s addictive—you could’ve warned me
38.Someone else’s love feels so suffocating
39.Maybe it’s time I quit you for good40.
41.That scent of yours—
42.In a crowded place, I turn around
43.It’s such a common thing
44.And yet, and yet…45.
46.The scent of Marlboros—
47.It’s something I’ve come to cherish
48.Even now, those moments
49.Linger in my hair when I look back
