[Verse 1]
You came in soft
Like sugar on a knife
I let you close
You stayed too long in my life
Your hands were gold
Your eyes said stay
But every kiss
Took my breath away
[Pre-Chorus]
I should have known
When you smiled that way
Sweet on the lips
Then the heart decay
I tried to run
But you held me tight
Now I taste you
Every night
[Chorus]
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
I drank it down so easy
Poison for me
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
Still your name lives in my chest
Like a fire I can't leave
[Verse 2]
My friends all warned me
You break what you touch
I laughed it off
Thought they worried too much
Now the table's cold
And the house feels strange
I hear your steps
In every frame
[Pre-Chorus]
I should have known
When you smiled that way
Sweet on the lips
Then the heart decay
I tried to run
But you held me tight
Now I taste you
Every night
[Chorus]
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
I drank it down so easy
Poison for me
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
Still your name lives in my chest
Like a fire I can't leave
[Bridge]
I don't want revenge
I want my peace
I want your shadow
Off of me
But if you call
I might reply
That's the curse
I can't deny
[Chorus]
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
I drank it down so easy
Poison for me
Your love was poison for me
Poison for me
Still your name lives in my chest
Like a fire I can't leave
