Guess I quit smoking in time for something else I'm trading bad habits like books on library shelves Now loneliness finds me in some better health But habits are habits and my bad habits held I guess I quit smoking in time to meet you By swapping my poison my body's subdued But how can I ever maintain that I have quit When all I've swapped out is the flame I burn with I thought I quit smoking I guess that I was wrong These people I cling to don't cling to me long And next time I'm found in need of a fix I'll stick to the poison I knows a good fit yeah
