Poison Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to play make believe
I tried to stay within reality
And from a real young age
I learned to cope with pain
I never was the same
[Verse 2]
I didn't want you to be superman
I only wanted you to hold my hand
I guess I asked too much
Or wasn't worth enough
But I kept faith because -
[Interlude]
You're supposed to love and protect me
Sorry that I didn't turn out the way
That you wanted, but I just wanted you to stay
You're supposed to love and accept me
Instead I waited, wasting so much time
And without you, I really had to sacrifice
The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life
[Pre-Chorus]
I played my part, you had my heart
Believed it all would work out without a shred of doubt
But in your eyes I couldn't fly
Why wasn't I good enough?
Guess I just don't mean much
Is it too late to quit this game?
[Chorus]
Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for
[Post-Chorus]
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-nothing
[Verse 3]
Should I apologize for giving up?
Should I be sorry that I've had enough?
Of broken promises
Excessive harsh judgments
And subtle rejections
[Verse 4]
Are you aware of what you've done to me?
Or are you so just blind that you can't see
The scars that you've left here?
Mutating into fear
Of people getting near
[Interlude]
Why didn't you love and accept me?
Sorry that I didn't turn out the way
That you wanted, but I just wanted you to stay
Why couldn't you love and protect me?
Instead I waited, wasting so much time
And without you, I really had to sacrifice
The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life
[Pre-Chorus]
You had a chance, I took it back
Why should I let you go free when you can't stop hurting me?
Wish I were strong enough to hold on
But the ache grows and grows
As long as I still can't say "No"
So you've got to go
[Chorus]
Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt
[Post-Chorus]
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-nothing
[Bridge]
I'm not too sensitive
And I'm not incompetent
You failed the job that you were meant to have in my life
No, I'm not incompetent
No, I'm not too sensitive
And if you really cared then you'd just say you're sorry
The saddest part is that you won't even hear this song
I wish that things had been different
But now I just can't leave it all behind
If I could heal the wounds within
Maybe we both could start again
For now I can't, my heart is cracked, so until then
Can't let you in, this is the end
[Chorus]
Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for
Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt
[Post-Chorus]
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-n-noth-noth—
Thanks for nothing, thanks for n-n-nothing
