Soft Poison

[Verse 1]

You hit my phone at 2

“I hate you”… then “I miss you too”

You pull me in, then you bruise my trust

Sweet on your tongue, but your eyes show rust

You leave your sweater on the chair

Sweet on your tongue, but your eyes show rust

You leave your sweater on the chair

So I can’t forget you’re everywhere

You say “it’s nothing,” but you stay the night

Tracing your name on my chest in spite

[Chorus]

You’re my soft poison

Dripping through my veins so slow

Say you’re done, then you’re at my door

Why we keep doing this? I don’t know

You’re my soft poison

Kiss me, then you cut too deep

We break up in the living room

Then fall back into dirty sheets (oh no)

[Verse 2]

You only love me when you’re bored

Turn my heart into a scoreboard

You disappear when the sun comes up

Leave mascara on my coffee cup

You light a match, then blame the glow

Tell your friends that you let me go

But you slide back in with a careless “hey”

Like you didn’t burn me just yesterday

[Chorus]

You’re my soft poison

Dripping through my veins so slow

Say you’re done, then you’re at my door

Why we keep doing this? I don’t know

You’re my soft poison

Kiss me, then you cut too deep

We break up in the living room

Then fall back into dirty sheets (yeah)

[Bridge]

Maybe I like the way it hurts

Maybe I’m worse

For staying whenever you return (oh)

We’re bad habits in a tangled bed

You’re in my lungs, in my head

I swear I’m leaving… then you text

[Chorus]

You’re my soft poison

Dripping through my veins so slow

Say you’re done, then you’re at my door

Why we keep doing this? I don’t know

You’re my soft poison

Kiss me, then you cut too deep

If loving you is killing me

Promise you’ll put me back to sleep
