Poison in My Drink

[Verse 1]
Your the poison in my drink
You keep me addicted
I taste you on my tongue
And I can't kick the habit
I'm the ghost in your hallway
You keep the door unlocked
Every time you look at me
We both know what we lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we do this?
Why do we stay?
Hands on the ember
Burning anyway
[Chorus]
I'm the ghost that haunts your dreams
Waking you in the night
Constantly breaking your heart
Why can't we love each other?
Why can't we love each other?
(Why can't we love each other?)
[Verse 2]
You leave your fingerprints
On every broken promise
I leave a crack in your chest
Where all the truth got honest
We fight like a storm front
Rolling over the fields
Then you pull me close again
Like pain is all that heals
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do we do this?
Why do we stay?
Hands on the ember
Burning anyway
[Chorus]
I'm the ghost that haunts your dreams
Waking you in the night
Constantly breaking your heart
Why can't we love each other?
Why can't we love each other?
(Why can't we love each other?)
[Bridge]
If I let you go now
Would you finally breathe?
If you shut the window
Would I still haunt your sleep?
Tell me it's over
Tell me it's gone
'Cause I keep coming back
And you keep holding on
[Final Chorus]
I'm the ghost that haunts your dreams
Waking you in the night
Constantly breaking your heart
Why can't we love each other?
Why can't we love each other?
(Why can't we love each other?)

Alternative rock with driving mid-tempo drums, crunching palm-muted guitars, and a propulsive bassline; verse starts tight and tense, pre-chorus opens into rising toms and layered vocals, chorus lands with wide power chords and gang harmonies. Close-mic lead in verses, doubled and slightly ragged on the hook, with short delay throws on key words. Add a reversed swell into each chorus, a noisy guitar scrape before the bridge, and a bright, punchy mix with raw edge., alternative rock, rock
