Venom Kiss

You pulled me close just to watch me bleed Whispered forever through poisoned teeth I was your altar, I was your shrine You drank my youth like cheap red wine And every time I tried to leave You had a knife dressed as a plea "Don't go, don't go, I'll change, I swear" But change was just another snare You're a venom kiss and a gasoline touch Love me too much, then not enough You build me up just to watch me break How much heartache can one heart take? I learned to walk on broken glass Smile through the pain, let nothing pass You loved the drama, loved the fight Loved me most when I cried at night And when I screamed, you called me crazy When I bled, you called me lazy "I gave you everything," you'd say Then took the light and walked away You're a venom kiss and a gasoline touch Love me too much, then not enough You build me up just to watch me break How much heartache can one heart take? But here's the thing — I'm still alive I dug my way out of your lies And now I see you clear as day Just a little man who's afraid to stay So take your venom, take your kiss I'm done with drowning in your abyss You'll find another fool to break But I'm the one that got away Got away Got away Never again
