Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my young eyes have cried so many nights you put me through
Too much, too much
Now my mommas been trippin cause my teachers been callin cause i'm fallin down over you
Can't keep myself up no more
Like a catastrophe you shattered me like a category 5
My hearts poundin like (poundin like, poundin like)
Im going down like (down like, down like)
I know you're not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
When ever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
I know know you're not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
When ever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
My girls tellin me lately i've been slippen
And how i've changed since i've been with you boy (you boy)
And now all i sing about is the way you left me out in the cold at 10 below
Circling in emotions i'm feelin hopeless cause you showed me
Forbidden kiss you became my life support
Now i cant survive without you (you)
My hearts poundin like (poudin like, poundin like)
I'm going down like (down like, down like)
And i'm gon flatline here without cause i can't go on without you boy
I know you're not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
Whenever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
I know your not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
Whenever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
Someone grab me
Someone save me
Before it's too late
I can only take so much more of this before it's too late
Someone grab me
Someone save me
Before its too late
I can only take so much more of this before its too late
I know you're not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
When ever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
I know you're not good for me
But i just can't get enough
You're not what i need
But i'm caught up on on distant love
Momma's tellin me that your not the one i need
When ever your gone i'm tryina learn to breathe
I was kissed with sweet poison
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Momma tell me that
Whenever your gone i'm
I was kissed with sweet poison no
