Poison I Still Miss

[Verse 1]
I loved you first
Then had to leave
You tasted sweet
Then burned through me
You called me back
Said “we can mend”
But only if
I crossed that line again
[Chorus]
You were poison
But I still miss you
Every memory
Cuts me in two
I gave you my body
To keep what we had
Then you left me on the curb
Like a piece of trash
You were poison
But I still want you
Hate the way
You still feel true
I keep reaching for a ghost
For the hurt I understand
Then you leave me every time
Like a piece of trash
[Verse 2]
Tried to stay kind
Tried to be cool
Said “let’s be friends”
You changed the rules
I said yes
Just to stay close
You zipped your coat
And walked home alone
[Chorus]
You were poison
But I still miss you
Every memory
Cuts me in two
I gave you my body
To keep what we had
Then you left me on the curb
Like a piece of trash
You were poison
But I still want you
Hate the way
You still feel true
I keep reaching for a ghost
For the hurt I understand
Then you leave me every time
Like a piece of trash (yeah)
[Bridge]
One day I’ll say your name
And it won’t sting
I’ll wash you from my hands
Every last thing
But tonight I trace your outline
In the dark I crash
Still learning I’m a treasure
Not somebody’s trash
[Chorus]
You were poison
And I don’t miss you
Every scar now
Leads me through
I’m taking my body back
Taking me back
You can stay out in the cold
With your borrowed mask
You were poison
Now I don’t want you
All that weight
I’m walking past
I’m done reaching for your ghost
Done living in the past
I’m a diamond in the dirt
Never piece of trash

Moody alt-pop ballad with female vocals; intimate piano and soft pads in the verses, kick and deep sub under the chorus. Vocals start fragile and close-mic’d, then open into layered harmonies on the hook. Subtle reverse FX and distant vocal chops build a haunted, aching vibe.
