Sweet Poison

Yeah…

You taste like trouble.

And I keep asking for more.

Midnight on your tongue, I can’t breathe right,

You pull me in close like you own my life.

Say you’re “not like them”, then you switch that face,

Love me like a drug, then you dodge my fate.

I watch my heart beg while my pride stays mute,

I know you’re a storm but I still want you.

You leave little scars where your kisses land,

And I call it romance with shaking hands.

You text “I miss you” when you’re bored again,

Then you vanish, like it’s oxygen.

I hate you… I need you… it’s stupid, true,

But I melt every time you say “come through”.

You’re my sweet poison, sip slow, I’m addicted,

Lipstick on my soul, got my mind conflicted.

Pull me to the edge, then you act so innocent,

Break me, then you kiss me like you didn’t mean it.

Yeah, you’re my sweet poison, and I know it’s wrong,

But I keep coming back like it’s my favorite song.

Love me like a weapon, hold me like a choice,

Say my name real soft while you wreck my voice.

You got a talent for making me doubt,

Turn my “no” to “maybe” when the lights go out.

I swear I’m done, then you hit that stare,

Now I’m in your bed like a whispered prayer.

Friends say “run”, but I run to you,

Like pain feels safe when it’s dressed in truth.

You don’t even try to be good to me,

Still I crave you like a guilty need.

You love control more than you love my heart,

But I let you play me, I do my part.

I’m a mess, you’re a rush, we’re a beautiful bruise,

And I stay, even when I got nothing to lose.

You’re my sweet poison, sip slow, I’m addicted,

Lipstick on my soul, got my mind conflicted.

Pull me to the edge, then you act so innocent,

Break me, then you kiss me like you didn’t mean it.

Yeah, you’re my sweet poison, and I know it’s wrong,

But I keep coming back like it’s my favorite song.

Love me like a weapon, hold me like a choice,

Say my name real soft while you wreck my voice.

[Bridge] (plus chuchoté, plus intime)

Tell me you’re sorry with your hands on my waist,

Tell me it’s love while you’re feeding me hate.

If this is a curse, I don’t want a cure,

’Cause your kind of chaos feels too pure.

I should leave… but I lock the door,

You’re bad for me… and I ask for more.

[Final Chorus] (plus intense)

You’re my sweet poison, sip slow, I’m addicted,

You and your games got my heartbeat twisted.

Pull me to the edge, then you act so innocent,

Break me, then you kiss me like you didn’t mean it.

Yeah, you’re my sweet poison, and I know it’s wrong,

But I keep coming back like it’s my favorite song.

Love me like a weapon, hold me like a choice,

Say my name real soft while you wreck my voice.

Sweet poison…

Yeah.

Still drinking you.
