Title: “Pretty Poison” Verse 1 You say you love me, but you love the drama more Smiling in my face, then you’re closing every door Every secret I told you in the dark Turned into a weapon, now you’re throwing darts Late night calls when you need saving But when I’m drowning, you’re unavailable, fading You keep my name in your conversation Twist my truth for your validation Pre-Chorus You pull me close just to push me away Say you’re my ride, but you switching lanes I kept forgiving what I should’ve known Some friends ain’t loyal, they just wanna own Chorus You’re that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue Killing me slow but I keep holding on You toast to my wins, then pray that I fall Clapping the loudest, hating the most of all I see you clearer now through the smoke Love shouldn’t feel like a silent choke No more drinking what you pour in my cup I’m choosing peace, I’ve had enough Verse 2 You study my glow just to dim my shine Turn every boundary into a crime Say I changed ‘cause I won’t let you in But growth feels lonely when you’re shedding skin You laugh a little too hard at my pain Call it “real talk,” but it’s just disdain Competition wrapped in bestie clothes Jealousy everybody knows Pre-Chorus You pull me close just to push me away Say you’re my ride, but you switching lanes I kept forgiving what I should’ve known Some friends ain’t loyal, they just wanna own Chorus You’re that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue Killing me slow but I keep holding on You toast to my wins, then pray that I fall Clapping the loudest, hating the most of all I see you clearer now through the smoke Love shouldn’t feel like a silent choke No more drinking what you pour in my cup I’m choosing peace, I’ve had enough Bridge (soft, stripped down) I mistook history for loyalty Confused attachment with honesty But I’d rather stand alone and free Than keep fake love surrounding me Final Chorus (stronger, layered harmonies) You were that pretty poison, sweet on my tongue Had me believing you were the only one But I don’t need enemies with friends like you I’m cutting ties, yeah I’m cutting you loose No more drinking what you pour in my cup I’m choosing peace — I’ve had enough Outro (fading) Pretty poison… I’m detoxing… No hard feelings… just no access. 🎶
