Jake Mitchell - Turned to Smoke Lyrics

Gotta say I miss the man I was before our paths aligned
Everyday I'd wake up thinking this world could be mine
God had other plans and now I'm running through its course
But I ain't sure how much more of this shit I can endure

Started out so perfect, thought we were headed for a ring
You called me your beloved but I's just your summer fling
They say we moved too quick, I guess they were right
I put a whole life's worth of loving you into a short damn block of time

You said you loved me too that morning and I went off to work
Then you called me up that evening just to kick me to the curb
In retrospect, I suspect you fell for him long ago
So you strung me around until you found an excuse to let me go

I wish I could say that if you called, I would tell you to go to hell
But Lord knows better this ole boy can only wish you well
I still remember all the words to that song for you I wrote
But I balled it up, lit that match and my love letter to you
Turned to smoke

You see me in a different light, cause you believe in your own lies
You wreak havoc on my name, how the hell do you sleep at night
Telling all your folks that you'd be my wife someday
Come to find out you say that shit about every man you date

I won't ever forget all the smiles that we shared
You claimed all your past lovers never could compare
But you tossed me out so easy and it's left a lasting mark
It cuts just like a knife going through my f*cking heart

Wish I could say if you called, I would tell you to go to hell
But Lord knows better this ole boy can only wish you well
I still remember all the words to that song for you I wrote
But I balled it up, lit that match and my love letter to you
Turned to smoke
Turned to smoke

You take no accountability for the shit that you did wrong
Now I see that your intentions never held weight all along
Forgiveness ain't no sin, but forgiving you feels like one
Believing in your love is the most foolish thing I've done
