Sweetest Poison
She knows exactly when he's about to lie—his jaw tightens, his fingers tap the table three times. He does it now, telling her he was working late, and she smiles anyway because the lie tastes better than the truth. She's learned to love the person he pretends to be, and that's the addiction she can't quit.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You taste like every reason I should run
Like every warning that I'm swallowing
Your hands know exactly where to touch
To make me forget what you've done
Chorus
Sweetest poison, I keep coming back
Know you're breaking me but I relax
In the dark, you're everything I crave
Sweetest poison running through my veins
Verse 2
I see the lies forming on your lips
And I don't stop you, just let them slip
Into my ears like a lullaby
I've made a home inside your alibis
Chorus
Sweetest poison, I keep coming back
Know you're breaking me but I relax
In the dark, you're everything I crave
Sweetest poison running through my veins
Bridge
They say that I should leave you
That you're destroying me
But they don't know the way you move
Or how you've made me need
One more hit, one more night
One more lie that feels so right
Outro
Sweetest poison, I'm addicted now
Sweetest poison, I can't get out
