[Verse 1]
Why do we say we're gonna take it slow when it falls apart
Why do we only say we're lovers after dark
It's not been a year but it's still just a wasted time
Reminiscent no more, we've been missing cause it's all just lies
[Pre-Chorus]
And you grey your teeth, say it's not just you
And I say I don't want love if this is what it does to you
[Chorus]
Oh! it's all just poison
And they say that boys don't cry
But you stood in front of me
Against your cold tears in your eyes
And I can't tell you that I hate this too
Cause I'm keeping up a reputation
But at 3 a.m. when I need you again
You'll be my salvation
[Verse 2]
You're a liar, I've heard it from your smoke stained lips
When tracing my back, oh it used to be your fingertips
It was all black and white 'til the heart overuled the mind
And now we're lost in chaos of the foolish kind
[Pre-Chorus]
And you grey your teeth, say it's not just you
And I say I don't want love if this is what it does to you
[Chorus]
Oh! it's all just poison
And they say that boys don't cry
But you stood in front of me
Against your cold tears in your eyes
And I can't tell you that I hate this too
Cause I'm keeping up a reputation
But at 3 a.m. when I need you again
You'll be my salvation
[Verse 3]
And now you're so addicted to the nicotine
The cigarettes have taken the place of me
A photograph is the only memory
'Cause forgetting this is the only remedy
[Chorus]
Oh! it's all just poison
And they say that boys don't cry
But you stood in front of me
Against your cold tears in your eyes
And I can't tell you that I hate this too
Cause I'm keeping up a reputation
But at 3 a.m. when I need you again
You'll be my salvation
