Song Lyrics

You had me right in the palm of your hand
Gave you my soul, I was at your command
You had control,
How, I don't understand but it's over now

Trusted your promises, believed your lies
How you tortured me slowly with your cheap alibis
I can finally let go now that I know what you're all about

So I'll always be glad you'd forget to forgive
When you leave
Make the aftertaste of love
Turned to hate bittersweet memories
I'm begging you please

[Chorus:]
Just kiss me when I cry
A taste of pretty poison to remember you by
Say you love me, then tell me good-bye
Shoot me through the heart
And then kiss me when I cry

You bled me dry with your vicious demands
To steal my soul was a part of your plans
Your only happiness is breaking a man,
But it's over now

Use sex extortion and insatiable greed
How you'd stand there laughing after cutting me deep
You nearly killed me, never fulfilled me,
That's what you're all about

Since my pain is your pleasure
Take me down one last time
In your typical style you could kill me then smile
Hit me with a parting shot, leave me behind

[Chorus]

Salt and cyanide just don't mix
The tears will dry but remember this
I'll never make the same damn mistake
So come, seal your fate with one fatal kiss

[Chorus]
