Nessa Barrett - Pretty Poison

I could tell the real story but I know you wouldn't listen
I tried to tell it many times, but you always go and twist it, yeah
Nearly every morning that I cry
Wakin' up to words, they're throwing knives, mmm
Swear I'm lookin' in the mirror but I'm seeing someone different

Lookin' at you lick your lips
You're thinkin' on me
Makin' faces at me while you paint mine for me
Say my name, say my name
Like you know it's holy

Everybody wants a taste
But the truth is hard to chase
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins

If my name is in your throat
You're mine to take, I hope you choke
But in the end, I hope you know, I hope you know
I'm in your veins like pretty poison

You think you kissin' on my scars while you rip 'em wide open
You sugar coat your sharp teeth while you're preyin' on me, broken
You couldn't hate me more than I hate myself
Added to my list, I can go to Hell
If you think you want me dead, go ahead, here's a token

Everybody wants a taste
But the truth is hard to chase
Pretty poison in my mind and in my veins

If my name is in your throat
You're mine to take, I hope you choke
But in the end, I hope you know, I hope you know
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
I'm in your veins like pretty poison
