count the times

384.
the exact number of cigarettes it took 
for me to realize
you wouldn't even give me a dollar
if i needed it.
just keep takin' takin' takin'
don't think you ever understood
how much i cared for you.
had you up there with the angels
but you just kept on insisting on coming back down.
can't make you be
what you don't want to be 
so i gues it'll be 
384 days before i realize
i made the right decision.
