lyrics

I'm sick from my lungs down to my stomach
From smoking too many cigarettes
But I love how I hate it, like the feeling in my gut
After unfulfilling sex

And a cigarette is a fine replacement
For affection when you're feeling low
It ain't the loneliest feeling to ever touch my lips
But it's the second-loneliest I know

And loneliness is my sweetest friend
The one that always knocks me down again
The truest thoughts to enter my brain
Come, a high, lonesome refrain

I'm lonelier than lonely
And no one on this earth can console me

I quit smoking cigarettes for my health
It's best you quit me for yours
I'll steal away your breath and I'll burn up your wealth
I'm a bad habit to pick up when you're bored

And boredom and loneliness- so often the same
And a smoke will fill your time when all else is in vain
A few moments off your boredom, a few off your loneliness
Dragging closer from this place to the next

But loneliness is my sweetest friend
A friendship I never want to end
The truest thoughts to enter my brain
Come, a high, lonesome refrain

I'm lonelier than lonely
And no one on this earth can console me

So it's back to cigarettes for my health
The sweetest air my lungs ever felt
I hold it thick in my chest, I feel rich, I feel blessed
And alone I can't hurt anyone else

So loneliness is my sweetest friend
The one that will hold me through the end
The truest thoughts to enter my brain
Come, a high lonesome refrain

I'm lonelier than lonely
And no one on this earth can console me

I'm lonelier than lonely
I can't fill the void with roaming
No home to return to, they no longer know me
I'm lonelier than lonely

I'm lonelier than lonely
