Pretty Little Poison

(hm-mmm) You walked in wearing roses,

With a halo made of gold.

Everybody called you harmless,

Everybody bought the show.

You smiled like summer sunlight,

You spoke like honey tasted,

But every little kindness

Had a price attached to it.

You made the cage look beautiful,

Painted every bar in red.

I called it love for far too long Because I liked what

you said.

Pretty little poison, Sweet enough to swallow.

You promised me forever While you stole away tomorrow.

Pretty little poison,

Dressed up as a dream.

Funny how the prettiest things Aren't always what they seem.

You knew exactly what to say

When someone questioned you.

You'd turn the blame around so fast They'd apologize to you.

I watched you break a thousand hearts And call yourself the victim.

I should've seen the warning signs Before you made me one.

Take your roses,

Take your crown. Take your perfect little picture And burn it to

the ground. You can fool another stranger,

You can tell another lie,

But I finally see the poison

Behind your pretty eyes.

Pretty little poison,

Your bottle's empty now.

You can keep your sugar-coated

Promises somehow.

Pretty little poison, I finally know the truth:

The sweetest-looking monsters

Can still have sharpest teeth.

Pretty little poison... I won't drink again.
