Sweet Like Venom

You kiss me once

And the room goes spinning

Cherry lip gloss

But it’s world war beginning

You say “relax”

Like it’s all just rhythm

But my heart beats back

Like a warning system

I know what you are

Sugar in the dark

Every time I taste

You rewrite my heart

Sweet like venom

You’re running through my veins again

I know you’re gonna hurt

But I let you in

Sweet like venom

I drink you just to feel it burn

I never

Ever learn

You’re poison I return to

Sweet like venom

You call my phone

At a bad time

Perfect

Say you’re alone

Like a line I’ve heard it

I lock my door

But my hands go traitor

Lose this war

Then I blame it on later

I know what you are

Sugar in the dark

Every time I taste

You rewrite my heart

Sweet like venom

You’re running through my veins again

I know you’re gonna hurt

But I let you in

Sweet like venom

I drink you just to feel it burn

I never

Ever learn

You’re poison I return to

Sweet like venom

Maybe I’m the problem

Maybe I’m the cure

Maybe I keep choosing

What I can’t endure

If I cut you out

Would I miss the pain?

Would I crave your name

Like a drug again? (oh)

Sweet like venom

You’re running through my veins again

I know you’re gonna hurt

But I let you in

Sweet like venom

I drink you just to feel it burn

I never

Ever learn

You’re poison I return to

Sweet like venom
