Poison
Nesta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth
You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth
You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth
You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth

Temptation
Don't think that you'll get what you want like that
You should know better
You think that you could take control like that
Just 'cause you got heads spinnin', don't mean that you're winnin'
Don't mean that you're willin' to put work in within

Time is too expensive to waste it on chillin'
Overdue for fixin', sense of self is missing, ah, ah
Girl, you still seem the same
Your emotions are replayed
If you ask me how I'm doin' then I'm doin' fine
Manifested way more than when you were by my side

You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth
You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth
You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth
You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth

Yeah, you're cool, yeah
Cool and deadly, yeah
Yeah, you're cool, yeah
Cool and deadly, yeah
I hate to see so much potential being wasted
Under the flaws, there is so much that could be greatness

Sometimes we get too comfortable and could get lazy
And it's like everythin' you dreamed of start escaping
I need a bag, mhm, baby
Can't hold me back, mhm, baby
Can't call you back, mhm, baby
This ain't gon' last, mhm, baby

You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth
You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth
You are heartbreak dressed in lovely
You are poison, that's the truth




You are headaches and you love me
But you're poison, that's the truth
