Steve Earle - Poison Lovers lyrics

I was almost out of here Nearly left this time I saw you in my rearview mirror And i pulled up on a dime But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost You can't say we didn't try That is unless you weigh the cost Of every tear we cried Chorus: Why do we do this to each other I guess we were always poison lovers If you could look me in the eye And tell me what you see Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me I know that your lips are soft And they sing the sweetest songs But i've been listenin' long enough My heart has turned to stone Chorus Another time, another place Another wind to blame Cover every track and trace I'll find you just the same And even if we made our peace And went our separate ways You'd go west and i'd go east And we'd meet here in this place Chorus x 2
