[Verse 1] Well I wont make you tell me what Ive come to understand Youre a certain kind of woman, Im a different kind of man Ive tried to make you love me, youve tried to find a spark Of the flame that burned and somehow turned to smoke rings in the dark [Verse 2] The loneliness within me takes a heavy toll Because it burns as slow as whiskey through an empty aching soul And the night is like a dagger, long and cold and sharp As I sit here on the front steps blowing smoke rings in the dark [Chorus] I know I must be going Cause loves already gone And all Im taking with me are the pieces of my heart And all Ill leave are smoke rings in the dark [Verse 3] The rain falls where it wants to, the wind blows where it will Everything on earth goes somewhere, but I swear were standing still So Im not going to wake you, Ill go easy on your heart Ill just touch your face and drift away like smoke rings in the dark [Chorus] I know I must be going Cause loves already gone And all Im taking with me are the pieces of my heart And all Ill leave are smoke rings in the dark
