they say you need to mean it
if you wanna make this stick
but it was just an empty threat
decision made too quick

im told its for the better
that it’ll all be over soon
but it’s been ’bout 5 years now
5 years exactly come this june

cigarettes have been a part of me
since i was way too young
ill be a true non-smoker now
once this hat’s been hung

biting my nails down to the quick
to try and kill the edge
once ive passed this landmark point
i’m gunna stick to my pledge

now its only day two
still so long to go
gotta stay optimistic
this progress is slow
