Underwater Cigarette

Let me be your underwater cigarette, the one who understands why you cry all night, different from all the others i'm sincere, hold you in my arms and tell you i'm still here, break all your addictions and be by your side, take that special place deep withn your bright heart. keep you safe from those horrid visions at night, sit by your bed so your not alone i'm here, know that you have my time and my loyal heart, ease chills and your craving like a cigarette, my feelings are true and my touch is sincere, keep you company and help soothe you inside. i'll never leave if you ask me to stay here, can't put out an underwater cigarette, even though time will burn me up side by side, i'll last a long time as long as your sincere, because burning out a truly loving heart, is like denying the sky to the proud night. and as long as that shining sky is sincere, i'll whisper in your ear the trials of my heart, warm you to sleep when your plagued by the cold night, leave you confident that i'll be by your side, and assure in spirit i'll always be here, your personal underwater cigarette. keep you standing as the world lays on its side, when it promises love but isn't sincere, when it's useless like a filthy cigarette, when its air wears you down and breaks your sad heart, when it takes your bright eyes bringing on the night, standing by your side though i'm blind i'll be here. you have my time my eyes my touch and my heart, my hopeful insight is always by your side, no matter what you say or do i'll be here, to sit and hold you while you cry through the night, i'll be your dear underwater cigarette, my words bright with love as my heart is sincere.
