Poison Lovers

I was almost outta here

I nearly left this time

I saw you in my rear view mirror

And I pulled up on a dime

But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost

You can't say we didn't try

That is unless you weigh the cost

Of every tear we cried

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 listenin' long enough

My heart has turned to stone

Why do we do this to each other?

Guess we were always poison lovers

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

Why do we do this to each other?

I guess we were always poison lovers

Why do we do this to each other?

Guess we were always poison lovers
