Poison

Have you lost the thrill to hurt me?

Are my tears that less appealing, in this lighting?

 

When I’m burning at your last words

With my fears bound up like anchors

Weighing you down to the bedsprings,

Don’t think you’ll get off so easily.

Because you just ripped me open,

Filled me with recycled lies.

Promised me forever

Choked me on your drunken lullabies.

So sit I’ll watch you suffer down this glass.

Was being faithful, too much to ask?

 

How can you break me?

Oh, I’ve only surrendered.

Cuz’ We know it’s me who’s dying,

And I know you think you’re trying.

But somehow you bring me

Back to life, then haunt me

Addict me to these memories.

You poison me over and over

Again.

 

Now I’m miles from where you are,

A newborn distance growing too far,

Don’t know why I’m trying so hard,

When I still can’t infect you

It aches to think how much I miss you.

Oh, I know that you have scarred me,

I used to lick my wounds routinely.

But I know you know I’m fading

Now I sit and wait and feel empty

Imagine you’re so eager to snuff me out.

Is it too hard to kill these doubts?

 

How can you break me?

Oh, I’ve only surrendered.

Cuz’ We know it’s me who’s dying,

And I know you think you’re trying.

But somehow you bring me

Back to life, then haunt me

Addict me to these memories.

You poison me over and over

Again.

 

Now I can’t breathe I can’t sleep;

Cuz I don’t know how to love you

But you don’t know what I’m needing

And I don’t know what you’re asking

So you don’t know how to save me

And I don’t know how to keep you.

I don’t know how you could love me.

But I know that you’re not feeling,

So I am leaving

I am leaving

I am leaving.

I want you so bad, and I don’t know why.

 

How can you break me?

Oh, I’ve only surrendered.

Cuz’ We know it’s me who’s dying,

And I know you think you’re trying.

But somehow you bring me

Back to life, then haunt me

Addict me to these memories.

You poison me over and over,

 

You break me

Oh, I’ve only surrendered.

Cuz’ We know it’s me who’s dying,

And I know you think you’re trying.

But somehow you bring me

Back to life, then haunt me

Addict me to these memories.

You poison me over and over

Again.
