Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm not above love to cash in

Another lover underneath those flashin' lights

Another one of those ruthless nights

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I shoulda guessed that this would happen

I shoulda known it when I looked in your red-hot eyes

Spewin' all your red-hot lies

Yeah, yeah, yeah

What's the worst part of this hell?

I can only blame myself

'Cause I know you're poison, you're feedin' me poison

Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow up your poison

I made my choice, and every night, I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Any way you want me, baby, that's the way you got me

I'll be yours

My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

I got so good at bein' untrue

I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear

I disassociate, disappear

Yeah, yeah, yeah

So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp

Yeah, I know it's poison, you're feedin' me poison

I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow up your poison

I made my choice, and every night, I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Any way you want me, baby, that's the way you got me

I'll be yours

My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison

Poison, I'm drownin' in poison

I'm fillin' up my glass, but it's always hollow

Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison

Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow
