[Verse 1]
You trace my scars
Like you’re signing your name
Say “trust me
Darling”
While you’re twisting the blade
Every hug
Leaves a bruise I can’t see
Still I lean in closer
When you’re poisoning me
[Chorus]
There’s venom in your kisses
Running through my veins
I keep calling it love
But it feels like pain
If you’re the curse I’m under
I don’t wanna change
There’s venom in your kisses
And I like the taste
[Verse 2]
You say “forever”
With your teeth on my throat
Turn all my warnings
Into private jokes
Red fingernails
On my black T‑shirt
You apologize
When you make it hurt (do it again)
[Chorus]
There’s venom in your kisses
Running through my veins
I keep calling it love
But it feels like pain
If you’re the curse I’m under
I don’t wanna change
There’s venom in your kisses
And I like the taste
[Bridge]
You’re bad for me
Yeah
I know
I know
But every time I leave
I crawl back to your door
You’re bad for me
Say it soft
Say it slow
You’re the ache I chase
You’re the wound I own (oh)
[Chorus]
There’s venom in your kisses
Running through my veins
I keep calling it love
But it feels like pain
If you’re the curse I’m under
I don’t wanna change
There’s venom in your kisses
And I like the taste
Yeah
There’s venom in your kisses
And I like the taste
