Pretty Poison (Part 2)
Intro
Yeah…
I thought I needed you
Turns out I was addicted
Verse 1 (R&B)
You taste sweet on my lips
But you burn going down
Had me floating in the clouds
Then you dropped me to the ground
Every red flag looked pink
Through the rose-colored view
I was drinking every lie
Like it was 100 proof
You said I was your world
But you treated me small
Built me up with your words
Just to watch me fall
I confused obsession
With a real love choice
I was drowning in your silence
Calling it your voice
Pre-Chorus
You felt good,
But you weren’t good for me
I see it clearer now
What I couldn’t see
Chorus
You were pretty poison
Running through my veins
Made me feel alive
While you slowly caused the pain
Every kiss was venom
Every touch insane
I was loving something
That was killing me the same
Pretty poison,
Shining like gold
But the deeper I went
The colder you’d hold
I survived your love
But I won’t remain
No more pretty poison
In my veins
Verse 2 (Hip-Hop)
Yeah, I detoxed, had to cleanse my soul
You had control, I had no control
Love bombing heavy, then you’d withdraw
Had me breaking my own rules, breaking my own law
I ain’t blaming you for all of it
I ignored signs, I saw the script
But pain ain’t passion, I learned that quick
If it costs my peace, I’m off that ship
Now I glow different, heart protected
Love don’t hurt when it’s connected
If it’s chaos, I reject it
If it’s toxic, I detect it
Bridge
I don’t crave the rush no more
I don’t need the high
I’d rather have something steady
Than something that makes me cry
Final Chorus (Stronger)
You were pretty poison
Dressed up like a dream
But beauty ain’t love
If it’s tearing at the seams
I was losing myself
Trying to make you stay
Now I choose my peace
And I walk away
Outro
Yeah…
Some things look good
But they ain’t good for you
