Lyrics Poison Lovers - Steve Earle

Poison Lovers

I was almost out of here
Nearly left this time
I saw you in my rearview mirror
And I pulled up on a dime
But nothin ventured, nothin lost
You cant say we didnt try
That is unless you weigh the cost
Of every tear we cried
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers
If you could look me in the eye
And tell me what you see
Maybe you can tell me why
I let you torture me I know that your lips are soft
And they sing the sweetest songs
But Ive been listenin long enough
My heart has turned to stone
Another time, another place
Another wind to blame
Cover every track and trace
Ill find you just the same
And even if we made our peace
And went our separate ways
Youd go west and Id go east
And wed meet here in this place
