Gary Allan

I won't make you tell me
what I've come to understand
you're a certain kind a woman
I'm a different kind of man,
I tried to make you love me
you tried to find the spark
of the flame that burned but somehow
turned to smoke rings in the dark.
The loneliness within me
takes a heavy toll
'cause it burns as slow as whiskey
through an empty aching soul,
and the night is like a dagger
long and cold and sharp
as I sit here on the front steps
blowing smoke rings in the dark.
'cause loves already gone,
and all I'm taking with me
are the pieces of my heart
and all I'll leave are
smoke rings in the dark.
The rain falls where it wants to
the wind blow where it will
everything on earth goes somewhere
but I swear we're standing still,
so I'm not gonna wake you
I'll go easy on your heart
I'll just touch your face and drift away
like smoke rings in the dark,
chorus..
