I Don’t Smoke
lily rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I been creepin on your IG
I can't even find me
You done cut me out the pictures
And I wonder what it might mean
Is there someone beside me?
Lately, you've been acting different

I been goin' out and doing all the things I know you do
Whatever makes it look like I'm gettin' over you
But high key (high key)
You try to tell me you don't like me

That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
Every Friday night, baby, I won't lie
That's like sayin' I don't know anything
When my mama asks 'bout where you've been at
And I know that I've been playin', sayin'
That I don't want you still
Me not pickin' up my phone when it rings
That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
'Cause you know I will

Yeah, I been starin' at my phone screen
Knowin' that the old me wouldn't hesitate to hit you
But the last thing that you told me
Is that you needed space, it was hard for me to face

So I got a little faded
'Cause I know how much you hate it
But still low key (low key)
You're tryna tell me you don't love me (don't love me)

That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
Every Friday night, baby, I won't lie
That's like saying' I don't know anything
When my mama asks 'bout where you've been at
And I know that I've been playin', sayin'
That I don't want you still
Me not pickin' up my phone when it rings
That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
'Cause you know I will

(I will, I will, I will, love)
'Cause you know I will
(I will, I will, I will, love)

That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
Every Friday night, baby, I won't lie
That's like sayin' I don't know anything
When my mama asks 'bout where you've been at
And I know that I've been playin', sayin'
That I don't want you still
Me not pickin' up my phone when it rings
That's like sayin' I don't smoke when I drink
'Cause you know I will

(I will, I will, I will, love)
'Cause you know I will
(I will, I will, I will, love)
'Cause you know I will

Overall Meaning
