I'm sniffing cigarettes in the dark again
I'm calling out your name
But I'll pretend someone's waiting
If you'd listen to just what I said
You might take the time to write it down
And call on me
When you're down
I am down
All your cigarettes on the window sill
I don't know if you were once a friend
Or just pretending
Open up that big old mouth of yours
Pills and razors
Marked the days as they were
Never-ending
When you're down
I am down
You should not forget
Every time we met
Shaking hands like friends
Then I swore I'd never go
I'd never go alone
Then you swore you'd never go
You'd never go alone
I've got your phone
And now I'll call your friends
I'll let know them know
That it was all for real
We weren't pretending
When you're down
I am down, down, down, down, down!
You should not forget
Every time we met
Shaking hands like friends
Then I swore I'd never go
I'd never go alone
Then you swore you'd never go
You'd never go alone
Then I swore I had it all, I
Swore I'd go alone
You swore
You always swore
You always swore alone
I'm calling out your name
But I'll pretend someone's waiting
If you'd listen to just what I said
You might take the time to write it down
And call on me
When you're down
I am down
All your cigarettes on the window sill
I don't know if you were once a friend
Or just pretending
Open up that big old mouth of yours
Pills and razors
Marked the days as they were
Never-ending
When you're down
I am down
You should not forget
Every time we met
Shaking hands like friends
Then I swore I'd never go
I'd never go alone
Then you swore you'd never go
You'd never go alone
I've got your phone
And now I'll call your friends
I'll let know them know
That it was all for real
We weren't pretending
When you're down
I am down, down, down, down, down!
You should not forget
Every time we met
Shaking hands like friends
Then I swore I'd never go
I'd never go alone
Then you swore you'd never go
You'd never go alone
Then I swore I had it all, I
Swore I'd go alone
You swore
You always swore
You always swore alone
