Poison to my heart

Story

I can’t see you right now

Please don’t stay around

I have to find a way back

Like it used to be before

A thousand miles between us

Would help me to survive


You’re poison to my heart

An illness to my brain

Seemed to be a fairytale

Woke up to a nightmare

I have sleepless nights

And live through senseless days

Trying to forget you

Like a big bad mistake


You’re still inside my head

My body remembers your touch

You’re not really gone

Like a ghost next to me

I don’t want this pain

Can I be just numb


You’re poison to my heart

An illness to my brain

Seemed to be a fairytale

Woke up to a nightmare

I have sleepless nights

And live through senseless days

Trying to forget you

Like a big bad mistake


My veins seem to burn

While my heart bleeds

You don’t need to comfort me

You’re not supposed to care

Go your own way now

And leave me all alone
