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 me off from the beginning You always said it was so bittersweet How that feeling rush from your head He went and swept you off your feet So hold your heavy groan 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've become so common place Smoke and lace Take me back to the room that you used to rent Where every wall 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've become so common place Smoke and lace Take me back to the room that you used to rent Where every wall was lined with discontent And I keep the notes you wrote in a jar in my room I pull them out and read 'em but I just don't believe 'em I hope you're doing good, you did the best you could Take what you want from me, I just need room to breathe You 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've become so common place Smoke and lace Take me back to the room that you used to rent Where every wall was lined with discontent
