Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your blood, like ice
one look, could kill
my pain, your thrill...
I wanna love you but i better not touch (don't touch)
i wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
i wanna kiss you but i want it too much (too much)
i wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
I wanna love you but i better not touch (don't touch)
i wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
i wanna kiss you but i want it too much (too much)
i wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
you're poison, you are poison, you are poison, running through my veins, you are poison, you're poison, you are poison, you are poison, running through my veins, you are.
