Cyanide
(Verse 1)
When we met
It was a freezing cold Monday night
rain poured and my parents just had a fight
I ran as fast as I could,
But you still found me
I tried to shake you off,
I tried to make you go away,
Took the bitter candy to ease my pain
But somehow you're still there
You hold me close and touch my hair,
The worst thing I ever had to feel,
Only cause I know it ain't real
And just when I think it's all alright
Lightning strikes and I'm forced to open my eyes
And it's my greatest fear
Because you're not here
Pre-Chorus
They try to keep me away from you,
Cause they're jealous of what we have
They say, it's not healthy to do,
To fall in love,
With someone like you
(Chorus)
But I
Don't care
I just want you there
To keep me centered PLEASE
End these hellish dreams
They may stop and stare
But I don't care
Without you by my side,
It's like drinking Cyanide
Cyanide
(Verse 2)
I'm not saying I don't like the candy,
But I'm saying,
I don't like the flavor
If you can't rid this taste in my mouth,
I'd just rather take it all out
It's not worth this
To be alone and so unfocused
Who said,
"What's broken must be fixed"
I can't,
Take another ounce of this shit
Make it,
Make it
Make it go away
I just wanna see the one who loves me,
I'm scared,
Don't know where this hellscape ends
I want him,
I don't want to make amends
(Pre-Chorus)
They try to keep me away from you,
Cause they're jealous of what we have
They say, it's not healthy to do,
To fall in love,
With someone like you
(Chorus)
But I
Don't care
I just want you there
To keep me centered PLEASE
End these hellish dreams
They may stop and stare
But I don't care
Without you by my side,
It's like drinking Cyanide
Cyanide
(Bridge)
Don't you know I know I'm broken
But I don't think that's a bad thing
So now I'm just tired of hoping
That you'll stop writing and just listen to me
(Chorus reprise)
I still don't care
I just want you there
To keep me centered please
End these hellish dreams
They may stop and stare,
But I don't care
If you're not by my side
I'm drinking Cyanide
