Cherry Cigarettes

Location

I wonder what you think when you’re out there smoking your cigarette.

I wonder what you would think if you knew I hold your baby while she cries.

I wonder what you think when you’re out there smoking your cigarette.

I wonder what you would think if you knew my house was the place your baby comes to stay at because she doesn’t want to go home.   

I wonder what you think when you’re out there smoking your cigarette.

I wonder what you would think if you knew I was the one who convinced your baby to keep living.

I really do wonder what you think when you’re out there smoking your cigarette.

Do you think about your baby? Do you think about me? Do you think about anything?

I wonder what you would think if you knew I push aside all my problems just to help your baby with her own.

You don’t think about it though.

When that cigarette burns out and you go looking for your baby and she isn’t there anymore.

I’ll stop wondering what you think when you’re out there smoking your cigarette.
