Sweet Poison

“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
