Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put poison in my favorite cup
Let it go ahead and fill me up
'Cause the taste is all I've got
The traces of a wasted kind of love
[Verse 2]
You can cut me with a thousand knives
Just the way you've done a thousand times
If it keeps you close, then I
Will gladly let you take my life
[Verse 3]
I can't let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
[Verse 4]
There's a diamond in your evil eye
And it's shining like the world's on fire
Just one look at you and I go blind
It'll never be enough
The traces of your wasted love
Traces of your wasted kind of love
[Verse 5]
I can't let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I just wanna give up
But I can't let go, can't let go
I've tried but you've poisoned my cup
And I can't let go, can't let go
Sometimes I just wanna give up
But I can't let go, can't let go
I've tried but you've poisoned my cup
And I
[Verse 7]
I can't let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
I can't let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
What I gotta do to just let go
Ooh, I wanna but I just don't know
[Verse 8]
Sometimes I just wanna give up
But I can't let go, can't let go
I've tried but you've poisoned my cup
And I can't let go, can't let go
Sometimes I just wanna give up
But I can't let go, can't let go
I've tried but you've poisoned my cup
And I can't let go, can't let go
Sometimes I just wanna give up
But I can't let go, can't let go
I've tried but you've poisoned my cup
And I can't let go, can't let go
