pretty poison lyrics

I could tell the real story, but I know you wouldn't listen

I try to tell it many times, but you always go and twist it, yeah

Nearly every morning that I cry

Waking up to words, they're throwing knives, mmm

Swear I'm looking in the mirror, but I'm seeing someone different

Looking at you lick your lips, you think you know me

Making 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 (Mmm)

If my name is in your throat

Your words are dead, 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're kissing on my scars while you rip 'em wide open

You sugarcoat your sharp teeth while you're praying on me broken

You couldn't hate me more than I hate myself

Add it to my wrist, 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

Your words are dead, 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
