Analysis of Burning cigarette
The little jokes,
The little jokes we laugh about
The little jokes we later forget about
They've left someone tormented
Lead'em to an endless path of selfdoubt
They've hurt them
More than we'll ever realise
More than they'll ever apprise
For that one moment of laughter
We broke someone on the inside
Crushed, their will to reside
We never look back, we never regret
But it leaves marks on them like a burning cigarette
