You cut me up Into little pieces And throw me into the ocean For the fish to eat You're tearing all of my branches down And pile them in a bonfire You turn the knife Cut into an open wound And throw the bandages Locked inside an empty room You pull me down Over a mountainside And fall into a web of hurt and lies And I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm a cigarette stubbed out Knife Slicing lovers out of me You rat me out Unraveling all the mystery You chew me up Spat out like some used up gum Lost of its flavour, out of worth You cross me out Torn out like a diary Erasing memories You rewrite your history You white me out Wipe me out and over For forcing out your heartache out of sight And I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm a cigarette that's burning softly I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm standing alone and bare Oh I'm a cigarette Oh I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer I'm a cigarette Oh, I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer love I'm your cancer I'm a cigarette Oh, I'm your cancer love
