pretty poison
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could tell the real story
But I know you wouldn’t listen
I tried to tell it many times
But you always go and twist it
Yeah
Nearly every morning that I cry
Waking up to words to throwing knives
I swear I'm looking in the mirror
But I'm seeing someone different
Lookin at you lick ur lips
You think you know me
Making faces at me
While you paint mine for me
Say my name, say my name
Like you know it’s holy
Everybody wants a taste
But the truth is hard to chase
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins
If my name is in ur throat
Ur words are dead
I hope you choke
But in the end
I hope you know
I hope you know
I'm in ur veins like pretty poison
You think ur kissing on my scars
While you rip ‘em wide open
You sugar coat ur sharp teeth
While ur praying on me broken
You couldn’t hate me more
Than I hate myself
Add it to my wrist
I can go to hell
If you think you want me dead
Go ahead, here’s a token
Everybody wants a taste
But the truth is hard to chase
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins
If my name is in ur throat
Ur words are dead
I hope you choke
But in the end, I hope you know
I hope you know
I'm in ur veins like pretty poison
I'm in ur veins like pretty poison
I'm in ur veins like pretty poison
