Verse 1 Your name tastes like poison When it slips past my teeth I say it slow, I say it broken Like a curse I still need You drop a heart at midnight Like you never let me go I tell myself I’m done for good Then I unlock the door Pre-Chorus I know your hands are trouble I know your mouth is lies But I’d rather burn in your arms Than be safe in a quiet life Chorus Your name tastes like poison But I keep drinking it down Every kiss is a bad decision I still beg you around You’re the sin I keep choosing The wound I won’t close Your love feels illegal But God, I want more Your name tastes like poison But it gets me so high I know it’s wrong to want you Still I want you tonight Verse 2 Your touch is a loaded weapon Pointed straight at my heart You say “don’t fall for me, baby” Right before you tear me apart Your fingers draw halos on skin You don’t believe in grace You only come when you’re lonely Then you vanish without a trace Pre-Chorus You taste like regret and heaven Like sex and a goodbye You swear you’re bad for me Then you prove it every time Chorus Your name tastes like poison But I keep drinking it down Every kiss is a bad decision I still beg you around You’re the sin I keep choosing The wound I won’t close Your love feels illegal But God, I want more Your name tastes like poison But it gets me so high I know it’s wrong to want you Bridge I should block you, I should run I should want somebody clean But I crave the way you ruin me Like it’s holy, like it’s mean You pull me in, you push me out You fuck me up, you calm me down I hate the way you own my mouth When I swear I’m done, I’m not Final Chorus Your name tastes like poison And I love the burn I keep touching the fire Just to see what I’ll learn You’re the hell I keep choosing The drug I won’t quit Your love feels like a crime scene And I’m guilty as shit Your name tastes like poison But I beg for the bite I know it’s wrong to want you Still I want you tonight Outro So come ruin my better judgment Come wreck my good advice If loving you is a sickness I hope it lasts my whole life
