Sweet Poison
Chris Stapleton

Verse 1:
Well I remember the nights, when we danced like flames,
The way you laughed, calling out my name.
But time has a way, of taking its toll,
And now I'm just a prisoner, to a heart that's still whole.

Chorus:
You're my sweet poison, running through my veins,
A dangerous love, that I can't quite explain.
Like a drink I shouldn't have, but I crave you so,
Even though I know, you're a heartache in tow.

Verse 2:
Each memory haunts me, like a song out of tune,
Wrapped in your arms, beneath a ghost of the moon.
Years may have passed, but the scars stay the same,
I’m still fightin’ shadows, caught up in our flame.

Chorus:
You're my sweet poison, running through my veins,
A dangerous love, that I can't quite explain.
Like a drink I shouldn't have, but I crave you so,
Even though I know, you're a heartache in tow.

Bridge:
Oh, I’ve tried to move on, I’ve tried to be free,
But your love's like a burden, that won’t let me be.
And the bottle’s a friend, when I’m feeling alone,
But it only reminds me, that I’m still not at home.

Chorus:
You're my sweet poison, running through my veins,
A dangerous love, that I can't quite explain.
Like a drink I shouldn't have, but I crave you so,
Even though I know, you're a heartache in tow.

Outro:
So I’ll raise a glass, to the pain that you bring,
To the sweet poison girl, who still makes me sing.
Though I know you're the danger, I can't turn away,
You're the bittersweet song, that forever will play.
