Verse 1:
You drifted away, left me hollow and cold
A shadow of dreams we used to hold
Lost in the darkness, your whispers are gone
But your memory lingers on and on
Pre-Chorus:
A bitter taste, lingering to remind
Of love that was toxic, yet so kind
Chorus:
You left a bad taste in my mouth, but I love it
Every bitter moment, I can't rise above it
Torn and twisted, like a thorn in my side
I crave the sting, where your love resides
Verse 2:
Can't shake the ghosts of our blazing nights
Even through tears, you lit me alight
Pieces of you still cling to my skin
Burned by the love that I can't rescind
Pre-Chorus:
A bitter taste, lingering to remind
Of love that was toxic, yet so kind
Chorus:
You left a bad taste in my mouth, but I love it
Every bitter moment, I can't rise above it
Torn and twisted, like a thorn in my side
I crave the sting, where your love resides
Bridge:
Oh, the poison you fed me
Was my sweetest escape
And though it's killing me slowly
I still savor the taste
Chorus:
You left a bad taste in my mouth, but I love it
Every bitter moment, I can't rise above it
Torn and twisted, like a thorn in my side
I crave the sting, where your love resides
Outro:
Oh, I crave the sting, where your love resides
You left a bad taste, still I love it, oh I love it
