Текст песни Kelsea Ballerini — Secondhand Smoke, слова из песни.

Sometimes you could hear a pin drop or the ticking of the clock
Between the surface conversation, no matter what they were saying
They never talked

Sometimes I would hear 'em screaming, when they thought that I was sleeping
They'd just fight about whatever, I don't know if they ever had a reason

Am I the product of a problem that I couldn't change?
Got his eyes, got her hair
So do I get their mistakes?

I know that you can't walk across a bridge that's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?, I can't help that they chose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
On that secondhand smoke

Sometimes I hear myself saying hand-me-down words
It's so easy to forget that he ain't him and I ain't her

And when I think the fighting has to end in a goodbye,
I wanna prove me wrong, but I'm scared I'll prove me right, 'cause

I know that you can't walk across a bridge that's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?, I can't help that they chose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
On that secondhand smoke

Oh, no

Will I be better, find forever, be the one to shake the habit,
Break away from broken things, and rise above the ashes?

I know that you can't walk across a bridge that's already burned, so
What am I supposed to do?, I can't help that they chose
To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke
No, I ain't gonna choke
On that secondhand smoke

Oh

Краткое описание

Песня «Secondhand Smoke» Келси Баллерини рассказывает о влиянии развода родителей на человека.

Она задается вопросами о том, является ли она результатом проблем, которые она не могла изменить, и боится повторить ошибки своих родителей. Исполнительница сталкивается с вызовом пережить бурные эмоции и преодолеть влияние прошлого, стремясь избежать «дыма второго рода» – эффекта передачи негативного опыта от предыдущих поколений. Песня вопрошает, сможет ли она стать лучше, научиться находить навсегда, перервать с деструктивными вещами и подняться из пепла, чтобы создать свою жизнь, свободную от боли прошлого.
