Why do I lie here like this

Paralyzed by the truth in your kiss

You think that I don't know there's someone else

I should get up and go, but I'm not feeling well

There's a slow poison inside of me

A slow poison, killing me by degrees

It's a strong potion, love and jealousy

Don't tell me it's all in my mind

I ain't gonna fall for that this time

I'm not really holding on, can't you see?

It's just when I'm feeling strong

Something brings me to my knees

There's a slow poison inside of me

A slow poison, killing me by degrees

It's a strong potion, love and jealousy

Please, please save me, say you don't love me

Sometimes the venom is the only remedy
