(matraca berg/jimmy fadden)

Why do I lie here like this
Paralyzed by the truth in your kiss
You think that I dont know theres someone else
I should get up and go, but Im not feeling well

Theres a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
Its a strong potion, love and jealousy

Dont tell me its all in my mind
I aint gonna fall for that this time
Im not really holding on, cant you see?
Its just when Im feeling strong
Something brings me to my knees

Theres a slow poison inside of me
A slow poison, killing me by degrees
Its a strong potion, love and jealousy

Please, please save me, say you dont love me
Sometimes the venom is the only remedy
