JJ Turner - Nicotine Lyrics

Tell me where to go from here
'Cuz I can smell it on your breath
That you need more than I can give you
But I've got nothing left
Overexposed polaroids
Hide the pigments in my skin
And the blood rush to my face
Every time your tide pulls me right back in

And I get lost in your fingertips
And all the times I've tried to quit you
I've been keeping my distance
But it's never long before I miss you
And all the shit you put me through
We're just blissfully confused
And I wear my heart out on my chest
But tell me what more I can do

I can't make you want me
But I can make me on your mind
I can't put my voice in your head
God knows I've tried
My hand at breaking through the tension
That's been keeping us this way
Until I'm more than nicotine
I guess this is where we'll stay

Slow dancing by myself
In this room we set to burn
I can feel the flames around me
But I guess I'll never learn
That there's no point in getting higher
If all we do is crash
We'll go up in fire and it all goes wild
Like some shit in Johnny Cash

And I wonder what your hands feel like
After they've been washed clean
Of all the looks and little things
You know that get to me
I'll bury myself in the ground
Before you ever see me break down
'Cuz if I fall apart alone
Did I ever make a sound?

I can't make you want me
But I can make me on your mind
I can't put my voice in your head
God knows I've tried
My hand at breaking through the tension
That's been keeping us this way
Until I'm more than nicotine
I guess this is where we'll stay

I can't make you want me
But I can make me on your mind
I can't put my voice in your head
God knows I've tried
My hand at breaking through the tension
That's been keeping us this way
Until I'm more than nicotine
I guess this is where we'll stay
