Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's gettin' harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
[Verse 2]
I know my lease is up and the bailiff's at the door
And still I'm hanging on to the life we had before
I know this cold love won't lead me to the Lord
Although I'm black and blue, I'm beggin' you for more, yeah
[Verse 3]
It's gettin' harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
[Verse 4]
We watched the water rise, I'm waitin' by the shore
Take me on top of the world and leave me on the floor
You say we're meant to be, but I'm seein' your honesty
I'll be a casualty when morning comes, oh
[Verse 5]
Oh, Lord
[Verse 6]
It's gettin' harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
[Verse 7]
It's gettin' harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
