[Verse 1]
You said I calm you down
I saw the tremor in your glass
Lipstick on the filter, shaking
Reading every red flag, then you laughed
I’m the name that stains your phone
Three missed calls, then one more try
You answer like a dare at midnight
Say you’re fine, but your voice lies
You keep the pills in the same drawer
With the notes you never send
You swore you’d never call me back
But here you are, again
[Chorus]
I’m poison in your veins, you know it
Slow drip, slow burn, can’t show it
You say “you’re all I got” like prayer
But I’m the smoke in your lungs, thin air
I’m poison in your plans, you feel it
Every time you touch, you bleed it
You say “you’re bad for me” so true
But you keep coming back, and I do too
[Verse 2]
I pull up, engine idle, humming
You step out, mascara war
You smile like a cracked window
Letting in what you begged me to ignore
We kiss, and the street starts spinning
You taste like last year’s fears
You call it love, I call it habit
Both of us addicted to the smear
You skipped your therapy this morning
Texted me instead
I’m the shortcut through your healing
Straight line to the ledge
[Chorus]
I’m poison in your veins, you know it
Slow drip, slow burn, can’t show it
You say “you’re all I got” like prayer
But I’m the smoke in your lungs, thin air
I’m poison in your plans, you feel it
Every time you touch, you bleed it
You say “you’re bad for me” so true
But you keep coming back, and I do too
[Bridge]
You ask, “can you change?” in a whisper (ooh)
I stare at the cracks in the tile
I wanna say yes, but the word rots
Before it can reach your smile
You love the ache, I love the control
We both know how this ends
I’m carving my name in your future
While you keep calling it “friends”
[Chorus]
I’m poison in your veins, you know it
Slow drip, slow burn, can’t show it
You say “you’re all I got” like prayer
But I’m the smoke in your lungs, thin air
I’m poison in your plans, you feel it
Every time you touch, you bleed it
You say “you’re bad for me” so true
But you keep coming back, and I do too
