How can you save me when you wanna break me?
You say you love me, but act like you hate me
You were the poison I should have avoided

I can see the shadows dancing on the ceiling
I can see the knife that you think you're concealing
Only time I dream is when it's nightmares
I've been fighting with your memory, it don't fight fair
All this pain buried inside me
I'm ashamed I let you lie to me
How dare you reach out your hand?
How can you save me when you wanna break me?
You say that you love me, but act like you hate me
You were the poison I should have avoided
Now I swim in the venom
Now I swim in the venom
Should've run, but I didn't
Now I swim in the venom
Now I swim in the venom
♪
I don't wanna feel high
Don't wanna numb my broken feelings tonight
The edge of your knife, the blood from your bite
I act like I'm fine, but the truth is I'm way past the line
All this pain buried inside me
(And it never goes away)
Why did I let you confide in me?
(Now there's nothing left to say)
How can you save me when you wanna break me?
You say that you love me, but act like you hate me
You were the poison I should have avoided
Now I swim in the venom
Now I swim in the venom
Should've run, but I didn't
Now I swim in the venom
Now I swim in the venom

The nicotine, the mezzanines
The cocktail dress amphetamines
The snake-skin heels, the sex appeal
It's all so insincere
