INTRO
Your touch is poison
I know it, I know it
Still I let it linger
Under my skin
VERSE 1
You slip into my mind
Like a shadow through a doorway
No warning, no goodbye
Just another sleepless night
I tell myself you're bad for me
Like a prayer I don't believe
'Cause every time I try to leave
I find you underneath my feet
You never promised forever
You never asked me to stay
But somehow every part of me
Still drifts your way
PRE-CHORUS
I see the danger
Just Like a storm
But I'd rather lose myself
Than wake up without you there
CHORUS
Your touch is poison
Slowly sinking through my veins
And I know I'll pay for it
But I let you in the same
You pull me under
Like a current I can't fight
And maybe that's the problem
I love the way it hurts sometimes
Your touch is poison
Mm-mm-mm
But I still want more
VERSE 2
The city's quiet after dark
But you're still loud inside my head
Every street, every light
Leads me back to what you said
You're a ghost inside the room
A silhouette against the moon
And I keep reaching for your hand
Even when there's nothing there to hold
Sometimes I think I'm not in love
Just addicted to the ache
But either way I close my eyes
And let you take what you take
PRE-CHORUS
I know exactly what you are
I know exactly where this goes
But the loneliness in me
only seems to want your ghost
CHORUS
Your touch is poison
Slowly sinking through my veins
And I know I'll pay for it
But I let you in the same
You pull me under
Like a current I can't fight
And maybe that's the problem
I love the way it hurts sometimes
Your touch is poison
Mm-mm-mm
But I still want more
BRIDGE
Maybe I never was chasing you
Only The version of me
That only existed
when you looked at me
Maybe that's why I keep returning
To a fire that never keeps me warm
Maybe that's why your absence
Still feels like home
FINAL CHORUS
Your touch is poison
And I know it from the start
Still I carry every drop of it
Like a secret in my heart
You pull me under
And I never even try
To save myself
'Cause some nights
I'd rather drown inside your memory
Than learn how to say goodbye
OUTRO
Your touch is poison...
And I still taste it
When you're gone...
