Poisonous Kisses
I am young
Not as young as I once was
I lost the better part of me to a love
That hurt and crashed and burned and hurt
After he swore
To guard my life he called me "whore"
He drew a knife against my heart
And taught me makin love was really making war
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I still believe
But not the way I did back then
Not blind faith without and end
That trusts and stays and waits and prays
He made God
A monster, better left asleep
With raging eyes and jagged teeth
That gnash and tear and wound you deep
To keep you down, to make you bleed
To keep your spirit weak
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I should have run I should have run
God - would you wait for me
God- would you set me free
God is there room for me
In a place where your people are pure and clean
I grew strong
Hid in shame for too long
I found my heart so I could run so far
From all the ways he found to do me wrong
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I should have run
I should have run
Not as young as I once was
I lost the better part of me to a love
That hurt and crashed and burned and hurt
After he swore
To guard my life he called me "whore"
He drew a knife against my heart
And taught me makin love was really making war
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I still believe
But not the way I did back then
Not blind faith without and end
That trusts and stays and waits and prays
He made God
A monster, better left asleep
With raging eyes and jagged teeth
That gnash and tear and wound you deep
To keep you down, to make you bleed
To keep your spirit weak
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I should have run I should have run
God - would you wait for me
God- would you set me free
God is there room for me
In a place where your people are pure and clean
I grew strong
Hid in shame for too long
I found my heart so I could run so far
From all the ways he found to do me wrong
The poisonous kisses of the man I married
Will stain my lips for years to come
Now I'm searching for the girl I buried
When I should have run
I should have run
I should have run
