Hồ Duy Groove - Cheap Cigarettes and Vintage Grief Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in this bar at three AM
Daddy's hands are shakin' as he lights up again
He's got secrets buried deep inside his soul
And a family in Singapore I wasn't supposed to know

[Chorus]
These midnight blues, they burn like cheap cigarettes
Every truth you hide, every word you won't confess
These midnight blues, they're running through my veins
Your silence taught me how to carry all this pain

[Verse 2]
You taught me to be strong, to never show my tears
While you've been living lies for all these years
Another woman calls you "dear"
While mama's sitting here, drowning in her fears

[Bridge]
The smoke is getting thicker now
Your fingers trembling somehow
All these years of playing tough
Ain't fooling nobody now

[Verse 3]
Got your callused hands and your stubborn pride
But I won't let these family secrets eat me alive
Time to break these chains that bind
Let these blues wash away what's left behind

[Chorus]
These midnight blues, they burn like cheap cigarettes
Every truth you hide, every word you won't confess
These midnight blues, they're running through my veins
Your silence taught me how to carry all this pain

[Outro]
The truth is spilling out like whiskey on the floor
Can't keep running from who we are no more
These midnight blues, they're all we've ever known
Time to face these demons we call home
