Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I've, ah, broken many hearts
But never think about shit
Kicked my last bitch out the crib
And told her, "Cry about it"
Every promise I could break, I broke
I wouldn't doubt it
But not to your eyes
I treated you like a prize
Women like to watch you work all day
And still act selfish
So I end up leaving "read"
On each and every message
I don't give a fuck
About keeping some human leverage
But after all this time
I'm still missing you
(Pre-Chorus)
And every painful moment
Just led me closer to you
Oh, and to think I did you wrong
(Wrong)
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
(Chorus)
Baby girl, your poison's potent
And I can't keep you off of my mind
Unless I pour up something strong
Strong
(Ah, oh, oh, ohh)
(Girl, your poison's potent)
(Oh, ahh)
Poison
(Verse 2)
I'm a fan of love
But hate the stupid shit around it
I've been taking drugs
So Frankley I get sick about it
My last birthday gift was Narcan
With a note saying, "Fuck you, addict"
Worry about your time
'Cause I ain't enjoying mine
After all the pain in my life
I see your memories
Love, are you still happy alone?
'Cause I need you to save me
Save me
We're no more than friends
Our love's passed its end
But I don't want nobody else close to you
Is it too late
To find that love again?
(oh-oh-ah, ah-ah, oh, ohh)
(Pre-Chorus)
And every painful moment
Just led me closer to you
Oh, and to think I did you wrong
(Wrong)
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
(Chorus)
Baby girl, your poison's potent
And I can't keep you off of my mind
Unless I pour up something strong
Strong
(Bridge)
'Cause, baby, you're the only cure
To all the poisons I endure
Girl, I'm drowning in my blood
Praying life holds something more
Although I know it is her
My veins are sore
Empty bottles on the floor
Who's to care
If I'm no more?
If she can't forgive me
What's life for?
If she can't forgive me
What's life for?
Outro
I've learned to drown myself in poison
But it's my death if it's not hers, uh
