Belladonna by Gwyn Petersen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought you were a cure to swallow
Takes one sip for death to follow
Bite back bitter comments
Hold out for care and promise
Hurts to breathe, hurts to talk
Tainted minds, they run amok
Thought you were a lovely friend
You smiled wide as I met the end of my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m back to start
Your wicked words tear me apart

[Chorus]
Belladonna
Your poison floods through my veins
And now I can't stop
Cursing your name
I danced with the devil
And you dragged me down
But now I see you're just as well as me
[Verse 2]
Drank my secrets, gulped them down
You tried to twist it all around
The words you said, at first so sweet
Melted down in disbelief
Sugarcoat the things you say
It won't extract an ounce of pain
Couldn't see what lurked beneath
Like poison, there is no relief from you

[Pre-Chorus]
What can I do?
It's the terrible truth

[Chorus]
Belladonna
Your poison floods through my veins
And now I can't stop
Cursing your name
I danced with the devil
And you dragged me down
But now I see you're just as well as me

[Bridge]
Your only purpose, to deceive
Has tainted all my memories
Of you
Time won't erase this sour taste
An empty space now holds your place
In my heart
[Chorus]
Belladonna
Your poison floods through my veins
And now I can't stop
Cursing your name
I danced with the devil
And you dragged me down
But now I see you're just as well as me

[Partial Chorus]
Belladonna
Now I can't stop
Dancing with the devil
You're dragging me down
But now I see you're just as well as me
