I Don't Smoke
lily rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of "I Don't Smoke" by Lily Rose explores the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past love. The songstress opens by confessing how she's been stalking her ex-partner's Instagram account and notices that she has been cut out of their pictures. She questions whether there's someone else and ponders on the change in their behavior. The singer then goes on to sing about how she has been trying to move on, doing all the things she thinks her ex-partner does to try and convince herself and her ex that she is over them.
As the song progresses, Lily Rose talks about the difficulty of not reaching out and how she resorts to getting drunk to lessen the pain. She knows that her ex still has feelings for her, and she draws comparisons between the denial of their feelings and her lying about not smoking when she drinks. In the end, she admits that she still loves her ex and that it is impossible for her to stop loving them.
The song's overall message is about the inability to let go of someone you once loved truly. The lyrics are poignant and showcase how challenging it is to move on from a heartbreak. The song's title "I Don't Smoke" serves as a metaphor for denying one's true feelings and how it's impossible to rid oneself of emotions fully. The track is relatable and connects with those who have experienced similar situations, making it a beautiful piece of art.

You're tryna tell me you don't love me (don't love me)
You're still denying your true feelings for me, even though they're low-key
(I will, I will, I will, love)
'Cause you know I will
