I was naEmive, your love was like C7candy
Emartificially sweet, I was deceived by the C7wrapping
Got caught in your Emweb and I learned how to C7bleed
I was prey in your Embed and devoured compC7letely
And it Emhurts my soul cause GI can't let go
All these Amwalls are caving in, Am/BI canC't stop my sufferinC/D'

Now I've been lEmicking my wounds,(licking my wounds) but the venom seeps
 C7deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can Emseduce, but darlin' you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
Oh, I'm about tEmo break, I can't sGtop this ache
I'm aAmddicted to your lure, and Am/BI'm feCedin' for a curC/De
EmEvery step I take lGeads to one mistake
AmI keep going right back Am/Bto the Cone thing that I neeC/Dd
EmOh, I can't mend this sore state GI'm in
Getting Amnothing in return, what Am/Bdid I Cdo to deservC/De
