Bitter Honey

Bitter honey on my tongue

Sweet enough to keep me numb

Every word you whisper slow

Tastes like love but burns my soul

Bitter honey in your kiss

I know exactly what this is

Hurts so good, I let it be

You're the poison I still need

Golden light in your eyes

But I've seen the darker side

You say things I wanna hear

Like "forever," like "you're mine"

I can tell when you lie

There's a tremble in your sigh

Still I lean a little closer

Just to feel it one more time

You wrap me up in velvet lies

Sugar-coated alibis

I taste the truth between your teeth

But I don't wanna leave

Bitter honey on my tongue

Sweet enough to keep me numb

Every word you whisper slow

Tastes like love but burns my soul

Bitter honey in your kiss

I know exactly what this is

Hurts so good, I let it be

You're the poison I still need

Midnight drips from your hands

Like a slow and melting plan

You say "trust me" with a smile

While you're breaking what we had

I should walk, I should run

But I'm frozen in the sun

Every time I almost go

You pull me back undone

I see the red flags in your eyes

But they look like paradise

Every warning sign I read

Feels like what I need

Bitter honey on my tongue

Sweet enough to keep me numb

Every word you whisper slow

Tastes like love but burns my soul

Bitter honey in your kiss

I know exactly what this is

Hurts so good, I let it be

You're the poison I still need

Maybe love was never clean

Maybe I'm addicted to the sting

Every time you say my name

I forget the pain

Bitter honey on my tongue

I know what I've become

Dancing on the edge of truth

Still I come back to you

Bitter honey, slow and deep

Cut so soft it makes me weak

If this fire sets me free

Why do I still need you?

Bitter honey

Bitter honey

Still I taste you on me
