every lie i say

remember when i asked you to leave,

trust me i wanted you to stay,

the word was poison on my tongue,

like every lie I say.

i keep running telling myself,

that i’m the predator not the prey,

but the hope is poison on my tongue,

like every lie I say.

i want to apologize and pull you back,

everytime i push you away,

but the thoughts are poison on my tongue,

 like every lie I say.

i want to get on my knees and plead,

i want to beg you to stay,

but i weep tears of venom and i bleed poison,

like every lie I say.
