Verse 1

Sweet poison on my tongue

Your kiss hits like a drug

One touch and suddenly

I don’t care who I was

You move like bad decisions

Wrapped up in pretty skin

And every time I taste you

I let the chaos in

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You get inside my bloodstream

Too fast to stop

⸻

Chorus

Aftertaste

Still burning in my mouth

You leave and all I want

Is another hit right now

Aftertaste

You make me come undone

Sweet poison on my tongue

Sweet poison on my tongue

And I know you’re bad for me

That’s what makes it fun

⸻

Verse 2

Red lights on your skin

Your nails against my neck

You look at me like heaven

Right before the wreck

And every time you pull away

I feel my body crash

Like all my nerves still need you

Even after the damage

⸻

Pre-Chorus

One more touch

And I’m addicted again

⸻

Chorus

Aftertaste

Still stuck inside my head

You leave me wanting more

Every time you disappear again

Aftertaste

You hit me way too hard

Sweet poison in my veins

Sweet poison in my heart

And honestly

I’d probably let you ruin me forever

⸻

Bridge

Fast breath

Red haze

Your love

My brain

No sleep

No air

I still taste you there

⸻

Final Chorus

Aftertaste

You linger like a sin

Every time I let you go

You crawl back underneath my skin

Aftertaste

Still wrecking me for fun

Sweet poison on my tongue

Sweet poison on my tongue

And I swear nobody else

Ever hits me like you do
