Lyric

You stir your coffee

Three slow circles

Lipstick stain on the rim

And my name in your phone as “maybe”

You talk in riddles

Sweet chipped sugar

Every laugh pulls me in

Every truth tastes a little crooked

I know this game, I’ve read the warning label

But my hands still shake

I’m leaning over the table

For one more taste

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Burning my throat while you’re calling me “baby”

I keep on sipping, slipping under

Smiling while it ruins me, ruins me slowly

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Stuck on my tongue and it’s driving me crazy

I know it’s deadly, but you’re lovely

So I let you ruin me, ruin me slowly

You kiss in fragments

Sharp then gentle

Leave your jacket on my chair

Like a flag on a piece you’re claiming

You say you’ll call me

Soon or later

I pretend I don’t care

Then stare at the screen till it’s fading

I see the trap, I drew the dotted line

Still I sign my name

Hand over the last of my pride

For one more taste

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Burning my throat while you’re calling me “baby”

I keep on sipping, slipping under

Smiling while it ruins me, ruins me slowly

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Stuck on my tongue and it’s driving me crazy

I know it’s deadly, but you’re lovely

So I let you ruin me, ruin me slowly

(Oh) If loving you hurts, why does it feel this soft?

Why does every “leave” turn into “just one drop”?

I’m begging my heart to run, it won’t

It won’t

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Burning my throat while you’re calling me “baby”

I keep on sipping, slipping under

Smiling while it ruins me, ruins me slowly

You’re like a poison, like a honey

Stuck on my tongue and it’s driving me crazy

I know it’s deadly, but you’re lovely

So I let you ruin me, ruin me slowly
