Poison Lovers

[Verse 1]

I was almost out of here

I nearly left this time

I saw you in my rearview mirror

And I pulled up on a dime

But nothing ventured, nothing lost

You can't say we didn't try

That is, unless you weigh the cost

Of every tear we cried

[Chorus]

But why do we do this to each other?

I guess we were always poison lovers

[Verse 2]

If you could look me in the eye

And tell me what you see

Maybe you can tell me why

I let you torture me

I know that your lips are soft

When they sing the sweetest songs

But I've been listening long enough

My heart has turned to stone

[Chorus]

Why do we do this to each other?

I guess we were always poison lovers

[Verse 3]

Another time, another place

Another when to blame

I'll cover every track and trace

I'll find you just the same

And even if we made our peace

And went our separate ways

You'd go west and I'd go east

And we'd meet here in this place

[Chorus]

Why do we do this to each other?

I guess we were always poison lovers

Why do we do this to each other?

I guess we were always poison lovers
