Poison Lovers

(album: El Corazón - 1997)

I was almost out of here
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:]
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers

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
And they sing the sweetest songs
But I've been listening long enough
My heart has turned to stone

[Chorus]

Another time, another place
Another wind to blame
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 2x]
