Poison lyrics

How can I explain myself to you?
Questions keep lurking through my mind
Is it the lover for the time?
I've given my heart, my joy, my soul to you
If it is real, I sure can't see
Gotta start looking out for me
And in my, my heart won't take no more
I know it seems that I don't care
Sometimes my ways are less than fair
I feel it's sad for me to take a stand
See, you have given me no choice
I feel I must exercise my voice and say
This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can't see your breath, I swear
And they told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along
Late nights, I lay awake in tears and pain (tears and pain)
Searching my heart for what went wrong (hey)
Asking myself, "What's going on?"
Why cannot we seem to see things eye to eye? (Eye to eye)
Somehow I didn't feel the danger (hey)
And now I'm sleeping with a stranger
To see all these years, we flushed 'em down the drain (down the drain)
Was that a love we can't promise?
Now it's too late for both of us
No regrets for what we've lost and what we've shared
Maybe tomorrow we'll love again
But until then we'll stay as friends, oh, one day
This feeling, there's no drug that can compare
You're so cold, I can't see your breath, I swear
They told me not to fall in love
Wondering where it all went wrong
You were my poison all along
Yeah
Poison all long, oh-yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Baby girl, poison all along
