Smoke - Mary J. Blige

Maybe it’ll rain today

And I won’t have to leave my room

Giving me the time

I need to get rid of your things

Enough procrastinating

For reasons that only I know

But I’m afraid to ask the mirror

The answers may sting

Ooh, and the smoke in my eyes

It hard not to cry

Why you gone?

The reason is supposed to make sense

But it don’t

Give me something

To spark the flame

Take away the pain

Take it away

I can feel the heat on my face

Ooh, holding on isn’t healthy

But it’s killin' me to let go

Trying to stare at your picture

But I can’t see it for all this smoke

Mmm, not for all the smoke

Ooh

Ooh, and the smoke in my eyes

Makes it hard not to cry

Why you gone?

The reason is supposed to make sense

But it don’t

But it don’t

It don’t

It don’t

Oh, it don’t

Maybe it’ll rain today

And I won’t have to leave my room

Giving me the time to

Get rid of some of your things

And the smoke in my eyes

Makes it hard not to cry

Why you gone?

The reason is supposed to make sense

But it don’t

Give me something to spark the flame

Take away the pain

Take it away (Oh, be so beautiful)

I can feel the heat on my face

(It would be so beautiful)

Give me something to spark the flame

Take away the pain

Take it away (So beautiful)

I can feel the heat on my face (Oh oh oh)

Give me something to spark the flame

Take away the pain

Take it away

I can feel the heat on my face
