You know I saw you last night
When you walked in the door
I wasn't looking to fight
Nothing worth fighting for

I laid awake until dawn
Till my dreams took affect
Too late to run to the store
Smoked my last cigarette

˜Cause if I can't help myself
No, if I can't help myself
And if I can't help myself
Nobody can
No, nobody can
No, nobody can

The sun darkens my face
The light cuts at my eyes
So I pulled down my shade
As I'm shakin' inside

I try to manage a smile
To forgive and forget
I only manage to light
Another cigarette

˜Cause if I can't help myself
No, if I can't help myself
And if I can't help myself
Nobody can
No, nobody can
No, nobody can

[repeat chorus]
