You can speak venom on my name
But it's no weight on me
God has set my burdens free
My evolution isn’t yours to own
You can claim the scars you put on my heart
Your forbidden fruit turned into poison
Your poison seeped into me like water
A hold on me I've never felt before
Stuck when we were apart
I couldn’t function without you
I absorbed the dysfunction
Gave excuses to cover the pain
Your words cut me deeper than any weapon
I started to wonder why you didn't see me
Took every strike, and said it was love
Just one look and I was your puppet
A venom that froze my tears
I had to shed who I was with you
Turn my pain into antivenom
True love shouldn’t be toxic
Naive mistakes cost me
I don't wanna live this way
So I fled into the unknown
To rediscover me
