Poison Words


I remember when we were sweethearts
i was safe with you, you were my protector
those days are over, now i need someone
someone to keep me safe from you
Love was all we had, we were young and sure
who'd expect their love would turn to war?
i don't know who to pity more
how much pain can love endure?
I should leave you but i can't seem to
you say, "i'm sorry, dear," and i believe you
though the next time may be the worst yet
how easily i forgive, how quickly you forget
The poison words, the ugliness
when low on hope and deep in debt
the promises that bring regret
for loving you, is this all i get?
The poison words, the ugliness
the cold remains of married bliss
to all our dreams, a fatal kiss
oh what kind of love is this?
