Things were looking good
'Till I opened my eyes and saw that
You were just a skunk
Sprayin' muck on my life
Things went from bad to worse
I think you got cursed
You know this ain't a fairy tale

Everybody's whispering
They think they know what's up
But you and me can only see
The blood in the cup
Time is of the essence
I've learned that by now
I think you gotta figure this out

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (poison)
Sweet poison (poison)

Poison (poison)

Things were peachy sweet
Then you pulled out my teeth
I would love to break your heart
If you had one to start
Things were feeling fine
Then I tasted the wine and could see
I was being poisoned
You fed me cyanide

Everybody's whispering
They think they know what's up
But you and me can only see
The blood in the cup
Time is of the essence
I've learned that by now
I think that you should figure this out

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (poison)
Sweet poison (poison)

You put on your demeanor
Like the paint on your eyes
I'm only showing up
If you're saying goodbye
You always need a sucker for your bite
Because you're poison

I ain't got time
To waste on your lies
You've got one foot in the grave
I got the shovel and spade
You're poison (poison)
Sweet poison (poison)

Poison (poison)
