Pretty poison

Title: “Pretty Poison”

Verse 1

You say you love me, but you love the drama more

Smiling in my face, then you’re closing every door

Every secret I told you in the dark

Turned into a weapon, now you’re throwing darts

Late night calls when you need saving

But when I’m drowning, you’re unavailable, fading

You keep my name in your conversation

Twist my truth for your validation

Pre-Chorus

You pull me close just to push me away

Say you’re my ride, but you switching lanes

I kept forgiving what I should’ve known

Some friends ain’t loyal, they just wanna own

Chorus

You’re that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue

Killing me slow but I keep holding on

You toast to my wins, then pray that I fall

Clapping the loudest, hating the most of all

I see you clearer now through the smoke

Love shouldn’t feel like a silent choke

No more drinking what you pour in my cup

I’m choosing peace, I’ve had enough

Verse 2

You study my glow just to dim my shine

Turn every boundary into a crime

Say I changed ‘cause I won’t let you in

But growth feels lonely when you’re shedding skin

You laugh a little too hard at my pain

Call it “real talk,” but it’s just disdain

Competition wrapped in bestie clothes

Jealousy everybody knows

Pre-Chorus

You pull me close just to push me away

Say you’re my ride, but you switching lanes

I kept forgiving what I should’ve known

Some friends ain’t loyal, they just wanna own

Chorus

You’re that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue

Killing me slow but I keep holding on

You toast to my wins, then pray that I fall

Clapping the loudest, hating the most of all

I see you clearer now through the smoke

Love shouldn’t feel like a silent choke

No more drinking what you pour in my cup

I’m choosing peace, I’ve had enough

Bridge (soft, stripped down)

I mistook history for loyalty

Confused attachment with honesty

But I’d rather stand alone and free

Than keep fake love surrounding me

Final Chorus (stronger, layered harmonies)

You were that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue

Had me believing you were the only one

But I don’t need enemies with friends like you

I’m cutting ties, yeah I’m cutting you loose

No more drinking what you pour in my cup

I’m choosing peace — I’ve had enough

Outro (fading)

Pretty poison…

I’m detoxing…

No hard feelings… just no access. 🎶
