Love Is Poison

(album: Maybe This Was Supposed To Happen - 2020)

Hold up, hold up, wait, can you just wait a second? You don't ever listen to me. I'm not saying this because I'm tryna hurt you, I'm saying this because I love you. What's so hard to understand about that?

Loving is poison
I keep falling in again, falling in again
It's dragging me down
I know by joining
That it's only gonna end, only gonna end
With me on the ground

I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us
I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us

Used to beg me to stay but now you're leaving
Maybe this your way of getting even
'Cause I've been sitting on these flights
All the messages I write
Sometimes wonder if you took the time to read 'em
Like, is this really what it's come to?
Especially after everything we stuck through?
And maybe you're right, you never loved me
But you're losing somebody who truly loves you
I can't lie, that hurts
A feeling that is only ever gonna get worse
I can barely find words, I just need you right here
How's it take only a second to erase a whole year?
This was always my fear, and I guess it was right
Now all I do is think about you every night
And I can't take no more, 'cause

Loving is poison
I keep falling in again, falling in again
It's dragging me down
I know by joining
That it's only gonna end, only gonna end
With me on the ground

I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us
I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us

I told you what hurts me the most
And you did it perfectly
I told you what hurts me the most
And you did it

Loving is poison
I keep falling in again, falling in again
It's dragging me down
I know by joining
That it's only gonna end, only gonna end
With me on the ground

So that's it then? You're just gonna leave?

I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us
I'm begging, don't go
I'm begging, don't go
Don't go, for the good of us
