How can I explain myself to you?
Questions keep lurking through my mind
Is it the lover for the time?
I've given my heart, my joy, my soul to you
If it is real, I sure can't see
Gotta start lookin' out for me
And in my, my heart won't take no more
I know it seems that I don't care
Sometimes my wave of love is there
I feel it's time for me to take a stand
See, you have given me no choice
I feel I must exercise my voice and say

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
They told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along

At night, I lay awake in tears and pain (tears and pain)
Searching my heart for what went wrong (hey)
Askin' myself, "What's goin' on?"
Why could not we seem to see things eye to eye? (Eye to eye)
Sometimes I really feel the danger (hey)
And now I'm sleepin' with a stranger
To see all these years, we flushed 'em down the drain (down the drain)
Is that a love that came for us?
Now, it's too late for both of us
No regrets of what we've lost and what we've shared
Maybe tomorrow we'll love again
Or until then we'll stay as friends, oh, one day

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can see your breath, I swear
They told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along

Yeah
Poison all long
Oh yeah
Ooh
Baby girl
Poison all along
