[Verse 1]
At first the pain felt good
Like adrenaline in my veins
You said my name so rough
It numbed the quieter aches
We turned the red flags black
Lit ’em up just to watch ’em burn
You swore you’d have my back
While you studied all my turns
[Chorus]
You were my favorite poison
Sweet on my tongue
Then it cut
I kept mistaking the hurting
For some tangled version of love
All of your damage was calling
I laid my heart on the floor
You were my favorite poison
I still crave what I can’t take anymore
[Verse 2]
You traced my scars like art
Said broken looks good on me
Kissed every shattered part
So I’d confuse you with healing
I wore your chaos slow
Like perfume under my clothes
Thought I could hold that smoke
Till it lived inside my bones
[Chorus]
You were my favorite poison
Sweet on my tongue
Then it cut
I kept mistaking the hurting
For some tangled version of love
All of your damage was calling
I laid my heart on the floor
You were my favorite poison
I still crave what I can’t take anymore
[Bridge]
Now I wake up in the quiet
Hands shaking for a hit of you (hit of you)
Every memory’s a riot
Soft and sharp
Pulling me through
I hate how I still miss it
That rush before the crash
But I’m learning how to sit with
Every feeling you masked
[Chorus]
You were my favorite poison
Sweet on my tongue
Then it cut
I kept mistaking the hurting
For some tangled version of love
All of your damage was calling
I laid my heart on the floor
You were my favorite poison
I don’t crave what I once craved before (no more)
