Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every conversation lately turns into an accusation,
You read meaning into silence, call my freedom disrespectful.
You ask who liked my picture, why I took so long to call,
Then swear that being jealous only proves you care at all.
At first your possessiveness made me feel like I was chosen,
Now it feels like every breath I take requires your permission.
You want to know my password, every place and every friend,
But you keep your own phone guarded like the rules don’t reach your end.

[Chorus]
There’s poison between us, mixed into the wine,
Jealousy and passion crossing every boundary line.
We argue until midnight, then make love until we shake,
But morning finds the damage that our bodies couldn’t erase.
There’s poison between us, and desire keeps it strong.
We keep doing something beautiful in ways that feel so wrong.

[Verse 2]
You pulled me close in anger, then kissed me like a warning,
Said no other man could have what you have every morning.
I should have felt protected, but possession isn’t care,
And love should never make me frightened of the person standing there.
Still, when your voice gets softer and you tell me that you’re sorry,
I remember why I wanted you and almost lose the story.
But apologies without change become another kind of lie,
And makeup love can’t save us if respect has already died.

[Bridge]
We need more than attraction, more than hunger in the dark.
We need safety in our language, honesty inside our hearts.
Either we remove the poison and rebuild what we destroyed,
Or let each other go before love turns completely void.

[Final Chorus]
There’s poison between us, mixed into the wine,
But I won’t let your jealousy keep controlling what is mine.
We can argue until midnight, make the headboard hit the wall,
But pleasure after pain is not a healthy love at all.
There’s poison between us, and the truth has now arrived:
Either love me without owning me, or leave my life.
