Oh, Nicotine

Can you hear that sad violin? I'm choosing life, and I'm gonna win...

Always there when the world got mean / While stealing all my dopamine.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, goodbye, good old nicotine,
Farewell, my bitter chemical dream…

[Verse 1]
I met you when I was fifteen,
You and I played libertine,
I used to smoke like breathing in,
Now I want you off my skin.

[Pre-Chorus]
You stink like ashes in a tin,
I won't let you back within.

[Chorus]
Oh, nicotine, my old toxic queen,
You filled the spaces in between,
Always there when the world got mean,
While stealing all my dopamine…

[Verse 2]
My fingers itched to pull you in,
Your yellow filter flickering,
You haunt me like a deadly dream,
The worst damn liar I've ever seen.

[Chorus]
Oh, nicotine, my old toxic queen,
You filled the spaces in between,
Always there when the world got mean,
While stealing all my dopamine…

[Bridge]
You called it romance, I call it a scheme,
A toxic ex in a nicotine dream,
My lungs are healing, my head's more keen,
I'm cutting you out like a bad movie scene.

[Outro]
Farewell, oh, nicotine,
A brand-new day can now begin,
Can you hear that sad violin?
I'm choosing life, and I'm gonna win.

Signed with love, Céline.

Death is nothing at all. Henry Scott Holland said so... gently, without lying, without rushing.
