Lately, you say he's been calling    Saying that he wants you back   I hope and pray you're not falling   For that old line when it's an act      It's just smoke from an old flame   And smoke disappears in the wind   It's just smoke from an old flame   He'll look in your eyes and tell you more lies   And girl, then he'll burn you again      I love you but I'd never keep you   From leaving if you want to go   It hurts me but girl, I'll release you   If that's what you want but I hope you know      It's just smoke from an old flame   And smoke disappears in the wind   It's just smoke from an old flame   He'll look in your eyes and tell you more lies   And girl, then he'll burn you again      He'll never change, his words are the same   You've heard them all before   He says he wants you, you know it's not true   So why go back for more?
