Smoke by Mezandria

I’m not askin’ for perfect, I’m askin’ for here,
For the man who shows up, not the one who disappears.

But I’m smoke,
I rise when you vanish.
And one day you’ll reach for me…
And find I’m gone where you can’t follow.
Baby, your mystery’s cute ‘til it’s leavin’ me damaged,
Love ain’t a ghost story, yeah it’s work you gotta manage.

You write fire in your lyrics, but you fade in the day,
Say you “dim too much,” then baby why you walkin’ away?
You talk warmth, talk fate, talk a soul that I lit,
But a flame needs tending, not a fade-then-dip.
You said I sparked somethin’ in you, breathed life in your chest,
But smoke is what’s left when a flame ain’t at its best.
You vanish, return, then vanish again,
That cycle ain’t love, that cycle’s pretend.
Consistency’s the flex, not bein’ hard to find,
I don’t need a ghost lover with a poet’s mind.
I need truth, I need steady, I need you on the scene,
Not a man who dissolves just to come back clean.

Yeah, I’m smoke,
I rise when you vanish.
And one day you’ll reach for me…
And find I’ve gone where you can’t follow.
If you want somethin’ real, gotta show up and stay,
’Cause smoke drifts off quick when the heart’s built this way.

So baby don’t lose me to the trick that you’ve mastered,
Ghostin’ ain’t cool when you swore you were solid.
All that no-lungs talk, but your actions skipped logic.
Said you’d never ghost me, but your words rang hollow,
Now you’re breathin’ the past where the heart won’t follow.
I’m not runnin’
Just tellin’ you gentle and true-
Keep ghostin’ your blessings…
And one day the smoke will be you.

Oh the wind, will blow it all away,
I need you here, consistent and true,
I see the patterns where they lie,
what I want is you.
Mmm just you.

You float in like smoke, baby, soft then gone, Like vanishin’ has the power to right the wrongs, You say you’re not hidin’, but the pattern don’t lie, When things get heavy, you float into the sky. You got bars ‘bout ghostin’ like it’s somethin’ you own, But real love ain’t a trick where you dip from your phone. You want “the one”? Then you gotta stop driftin’ away, ‘Cause smoke never stays when the wind wanna play. I’m not askin’ for perfect, I’m askin’ for here, For the man who shows up, not the one who disappears. But I’m smoke, I rise when you vanish. And one day you’ll reach for me… And find I’m gone where you can’t follow.
