Lyrics:
Watching the video that you sent me
The one where you’re showering with wet hair dripping
You know that I’m obsessed with your body,
But it’s the way you smile that does it for me

It’s so sweet knowing that you love me
Though we don’t need to say it to each other,
Sweet knowing that I love you & running my fingers through your hair
It’s so sweet

Watching the video where you’re lying in your red lingerie ten times nightly
You know I think your skin’s the perfect color,
But it’s always your eyes that pull me under

and I would gladly break it
I would gladly break my heart for you…

[mansherkapoor]

Hey Stranger. You have a good taste of music.

[choppercottoncandy]

I'm in love with this melody
it's so depressing yet so romantic

[aubree]

my cat loves this song, he gets really relaxed to this song it’s the cutest thing ever

[Asad_.]

To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever you constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace peace and calmness fill your life🌹

My ex boyfriend introduced me into cigarettes after sex. I remember he asked me if i liked their and i said yes because i wanted him to like me more. I had no idea who they were and i looked them up and this was the first song that popped up. I fell in love with this band, we would listen to the band together all the time and this song was our song. I was so deeply in love with him he was the first guy i really did love while dating he was the most sweetest person ever. When we broke up I was devastated, he said we would still be friends but we never did. I couldn’t listen to cigarettes after sex after the breakup without crying, when they became popular on tiktok i avoided tiktok because of him. He had such a big impact on me. December of 2021 he unfollowed me and I couldn’t even hear the name cigarettes after sex without tearing up. Just recently this past three months i’ve been able to listen to this band and i’ve reclaimed it as my own. So screw daniel i can listen to this now without crying over him after two years later.

This is the kind of music you need to blast through your headphones in the middle of the night when u can't sleep

[veerjain]

I just love reading the comments and listening to this song. It just makes u feel like you are actually there in all those stories, even if you don't even know anyone of them

[chrissleep]

i literally burst into tears when it came ''I would gladly break my heart for you…'' it hits sooo hard

[sunnyjoseph]

"cigarettes after sex" is not just a band, its an emotion.

[zuha]

1:33am. it's raining outside. the window is open. thunder rumbles in the distance. All i have is this music and the smell of the rain, the quiet of the sleeping house, and the softly blowing curtains, and the book I'm reading. The world I'm lost in. One that is more beautiful than the one I live in. I am content.

Sweet by Cigarettes After Sex is a romantic code to the sweetness of a relationship between two people. The singer sings about watching videos of their loved one and being mesmerized by their beauty and the way they make them feel. The chorus, in particular, speaks to the strength and comfort of knowing that their love is reciprocated, even without having to put it into words. Furthermore, the bridge speaks to their willingness to sacrifice, even break their own hearts, to show their love. Ultimately, this song is a message of unconditional love, trust, and devotion.

For the 1% people reading this, i hope you become successful in life.

[nethminnn]

The melody at 4:05 is hauntingly beautiful. There's a sense of heartbreak and a feeling you get when someone is leaving you and you want them to because its the right thing to do..
Just a simple riff but so powerful

[realestatesamadhan]

My ex girlfriend and I used to put on repeat songs of this wonderful band while we were smoking and hugging... I remember we made love for first time while Apocalypse, K and Affection were being played.
It's been five years now since she left me and I still can't believe how happy and at the same time how sad makes me feel Cigarettes After Sex.
Still I'm here, and it has become a ritual for me to hear them every night... I wish she could be here with me, I'd hug her and kiss her till we fall asleep together.

[mrerp]

i just can never understand how a song can be so beautiful yet painful at the same time

[virginiakostka]

I listened to this song a lot when I was falling in love with my best friend after we started sleeping together. We’re married now and I still feel the same earth shattering amount of love.

[kardelen]

Everyone says "Apocalypse" is their best but do they know "Sweet" exist?

[joeshit]

That was a song I never heard in my life, I love Sweet, I'm 61years old and that brought a tear to my eyes thank you

[MonsieursAsylum]

This song makes me feel like i'm in love with someone that doen't exist.

[Asad_.]

Dear stranger.... You have a great taste in See you again after 20 yrs.
