When you look at me
 You know you’re hard to read
 Because the face I see is not the one I know 

And when you call me “Baby”
 What’s that supposed to mean?
 I don’t know who you are, how long can we pretend?

See the change I know
 We both don’t have the heart to say
 Can’t return to what we burn
 We’ll never be the same

‘Cause you said you’d never let me go
 And I said I can but now we know
 That it’s too hard to say three words
 Too hard to make it work

When there’s nothing left to talk about
 ‘Cause you know the flame [bad word] out
 Two hearts are left to burn, do you know
 We’re only left with smoke

Black smoke
 We’re only left with smoke
 Black smoke

I try to tell myself
 That it’s all in my head
 But the [bad word] remains, we’re just too far apart

You know we’re fooling ourselves if we hold on
 ‘Cause we’re fighting for something that we don’t want
 Just leave it now and walk away

See the change I know
 We both don’t have the heart to say
 Can’t return to what we burn
 We’ll never be the same

‘Cause you said you’d never let me go
 And I said I can but now we know
 That it’s too hard to say three words
 Too hard to make it work

When there’s nothing left to talk about
 ‘Cause you know the flame [bad word] out
 Two hearts are left to burn, do you know
 We’re only left with smoke

(Too hard to say three words) Black smoke
 (Too hard to make it work) We’re only left with smoke
 (Too hard to say three words) Black smoke
 (Too hard to make it work)

‘Cause you said you’d never let me go, oh no
 Yeah, you said you’d never let me go

‘Cause you said you’d never let me go
 And I said I can but now we know
 That it’s too hard to say three words
 Too hard to make it work

When there’s nothing left to talk about
 ‘Cause you know the flame [bad word] out
 Two hearts are left to burn, do you know
 We’re only left with smoke

Black smoke
 We’re only left with smoke
 Black smoke
 We’re only left with smoke
