Poison Lovers

Steve Earle

I was almost out of here 
Nearly left this time 
I saw you in my rearview mirror 
And I pulled up on a dime 
But nothin' ventured, nothin' lost 
You can't say we didn't try 
That is unless you weigh the cost 
Of every tear we cried 

Chorus: 
Why do we do this to each other 
I guess we were always poison lovers 

If you could look me in the eye 
And tell me what you see 
Maybe you can tell me why 
I let you torture me 
I know that your lips are soft 
And they sing the sweetest songs 
But I've been listenin' long enough 
My heart has turned to stone 
 
 Chorus 

Another time, another place 
Another wind to blame 
Cover every track and trace 
I'll find you just the same 
And even if we made our peace 
And went our separate ways 
You'd go west and I'd go east 
And we'd meet here in this place 

Chorus x 2
