# Pre-Chorus
You say it didn’t matter,
but your voice is shaking thin. 
Every promise that you gave me
feels plastic on my skin.       
I’m trying not to lose it,
trying not to let the venom win.

# Chorus
You’re poison... running through my veins,
Burning everything you ever touched.
You’re poison... nothing left to save,
Every word you gave was never enough.
You’re poison... I can’t breathe you in,
Can’t wash you off, can’t make it clean.

# Verse 2
Saw your name still glowing
on my phone at 3AM.
You’re begging for forgiveness,
but you never say the truth outright, it bends.
I’m pacing through the kitchen, 
hands are cold, my jaw is locked in place.
Trying not to picture
how you looked at him the way you looked at me.

# Pre-Chorus 2
You say it didn’t matter,
but your eyes won’t meet with mine. 
Every truth you ever offered
falls apart in real time.
I’m trying not to lose it,
trying not to let the venom rise.

# Bridge
Stripped back, just you, your guilt, your shaking breath. 
Say the line, you’ve rehearsed inside your head.
But nothing you confess, undoes the rot you left in me.   
Nothing cleans the stain, of what you did so easily.

# Final Chorus
You’re poison... running through my veins,
Burning everything you ever touched.
You’re poison... nothing left to save,
Every word you gave was never enough.
You’re poison... I can’t breathe you in,
Can’t wash you off, can’t make it clean.
You’re poison... I’m done letting you in,   
Done bleeding out for what you’ve been.

# Verse 1 Poison in my system, Call me up, I’m fuming. Found out you were lying, Sleeping with my mate behind the scenes. Can’t stand up, I’m shaking, Chest is tight like something’s sinking in. Life draining out in silence, Circling the plughole, spiralling again. # Pre-Chorus You say it didn’t matter, but your voice is shaking thin. Every promise that you gave me feels plastic on my skin. I’m trying not to lose it, trying not to let the venom win. # Chorus You’re poison... running through my veins, Burning everything you ever touched.
