Cigarettes and Alcohol Lyrics

The first time I met you
I admired you
I loved your music
I wanted to be with you
You were so beautiful to me
I wanted to be that person you were looking for
I watched you grow and surrounded yourself
With people that love you
But I took your love for granted
I hurt you with pens and needles
And overtime, you couldn't just take any more
Now with the regret, I live with
That no amounts of cigarettes or alcohol can subside
I have lost my best friend, my lover, and my home
I know you are upset with me
That you don’t want to think about me
But please, let me be selfish one last time
I’m not asking you to come back
But just know that I love you
I’m sorry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
