[Verse 1]
You’re the poison on my tongue
Pretty lies, cherry gun
Kiss me once, I come undone
Pull the trigger, call it love (oh)
You’re the bruise I like to press
Sharp smile on a car crash chest
We’re a curse in a velvet dress
But I still let you in
[Chorus]
Evil love
You drag me up, then cut me down
Heaven, then the underground
I hate your touch
But I’m addicted to the pain you bring
Begging just to feel you sting
Evil love
I’m screaming that I’ve had enough
While I’m crawling back to us
I hate your love
But I can’t, I can’t leave
[Verse 2]
Middle of the night, you call
“Baby, I need you, that’s all”
Every time I swear I’ll stall
Every time I run, I fall (back)
You’re a storm inside my veins
Soft voice spelling out my shame
Laughing while you say my name
Why do I like the way it burns?
[Chorus]
Evil love
You drag me up, then cut me down
Heaven, then the underground
I hate your touch
But I’m addicted to the pain you bring
Begging just to feel you sting
Evil love
I’m screaming that I’ve had enough
While I’m crawling back to us
I hate your love
But I can’t, I can’t leave
[Bridge]
Tell me why the worst of you
Feels better than the best of truth
Every scar you carve in me
Looks like a wedding ring
You say “baby, you’re my light”
While you’re killing every side
Of me that ever learned to fight
Still I’m choosing you, choosing you (again)
[Chorus]
Evil love
You drag me up, then cut me down
Heaven, then the underground
I hate your touch
But I’m addicted to the pain you bring
Begging just to feel you sting
Evil love
I’m screaming that I’ve had enough
While I’m crawling back to us
I hate your love
But I can’t, I can’t leave
