[Intro – Acoustic Guitar]
I know better…
Still, here I go again
One look from you
And I’m right back where I’ve been
[Verse 1]
I was doing fine, walking my own line
Then you came along and changed my mind
With that dangerous smile and those midnight eyes
You turn every warning into alibis
You say, “Stay a little, just one more night”
I know it’s wrong, but it feels so right
I should walk away, but I want you near
You make my good sense disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
I know your touch is bad for me
Still, you bring out what I want to be
[Chorus]
You’re poison running through my veins
Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame
I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name
You break my heart, I come back just the same
You’re poison, and I know it’s true
Every time I quit, I fall back into you
I should run, but I want you too
I’m losing myself in the pull of you
[Verse 2]
I used to sleep when the sun went down
Now I’m chasing your shadow all over town
You talk me into one more drink
One more kiss before I stop and think
I say, “This is the last,” but you just laugh
Pull me close, and I forget the past
Tomorrow morning, I’ll blame tonight
But in your arms, everything feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
I know your touch is bad for me
Still, you bring out what I want to be
[Chorus]
You’re poison running through my veins
Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame
I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name
You break my heart, I come back just the same
You’re poison, and I know it’s true
Every time I quit, I fall back into you
I should run, but I want you too
I’m losing myself in the pull of you
[Bridge – Acoustic Groove, Building]
Maybe I’m hooked, maybe I’m gone
Maybe I knew it all along
You’re trouble dressed in a sweet disguise
And I keep falling for those eyes
I tell myself I’m breaking free
But you know exactly what to say to me
One little smile, and I’m back in your room
One little kiss, and I’m back in your bloom
[Final Chorus – Full Acoustic Rock]
You’re poison running through my veins
Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame
I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name
You break my heart, I come back just the same
You’re poison, and I know it’s true
Every time I quit, I fall back into you
I should run, but I want you too
I’m losing myself in the pull of you
You’re poison, but I want you close
You’re the one thing I can’t let go
I know your love will leave me bruised
Still, I choose you, I choose you
[Outro – Acoustic Rock]
I know you’re bad
But I want you near
I know you’re poison
Still, I keep you here
