“Sweet Poison (Pop Version)”
Verse 1
I was dancing in the dark
Trying to believe
That the ache inside my chest
Was just love hurting me
You said “baby, don’t let go”
So I stayed another night
But I was losing all my colors
Trying to fit into your life
Pre-Chorus
I thought loving you meant losing me
I thought pain was loyalty
But every mirror showed the truth
I was breaking just to stay with you
Chorus
Your love was like a lifelong drink
Full of hope, forever young
But I drank it like it saved my soul
When it was poison on my tongue
I don’t hate you, I just know
I deserve a different kind of love
I choose me, I’m letting go
I’m done mistaking pain for love
Verse 2
I was calling it “us”
While I faded away
I was holding your heart
While you took mine every day
You were fire in my veins
I was burning just to feel
Now I know that love that hurts
Isn’t love, it isn’t real
Pre-Chorus
I confused being wanted
With being enough
But I’m done begging for a place
Where I never felt like home
Chorus
Your love was like a lifelong drink
Full of hope, forever young
But I drank it like it saved my soul
When it was poison on my tongue
I don’t blame you, I just grow
I don’t need you to be strong
I choose me, I’m letting go
I’m done mistaking pain for love
Bridge
Maybe you were never evil
Maybe I just stayed too long
But I won’t bleed to prove
That my heart is strong
I’m learning how to breathe again
Hear my own voice loud and clear
Walking away from you
Is the bravest thing I did this year
Final Chorus
Your love was sweet, it felt so right
But it cost me my own light
Now I pour it out, I’m clean
No more poison in my veins
I don’t need you to feel whole
I don’t need you to feel loved
I found myself, I found my way
I choose me, I choose love
Outro
I loved you then
But now I see
The love I needed
Was always me
