Poison in Your Heart
Deceptive Love: Sweet Lips, Poisoned Heart
Lyrics
Once I loved you, darling
Expressing past love for the person addressed as "darling."
And it thrilled me through and through
Describing the intense and thrilling emotional impact of the past love.
I must admit I wanted only you
Admitting a desire for exclusivity with the person addressed.
Your kisses left me restless
Highlighting the lingering effect of the person's kisses, creating restlessness.
When you said we'd never part
Recalling a promise of eternal togetherness.
Your lips are sweet as honey
Complimenting the sweetness of the person's lips.
But there's poison in your heart
Noting a deceptive or harmful nature within the person's emotions or intentions.
The way that you two timed me
Expressing betrayal and disappointment due to the person being unfaithful.
Is a sin and it's a shame
Labeling the act of two-timing as sinful and shameful.
You even said you'd like to change my name
Referencing a false promise to change the speaker's name, possibly symbolizing a commitment.
You vowed that you'll be faithful
Recalling a vow of faithfulness that was not upheld.
But you lied right from the start
Accusing the person of lying from the beginning of the relationship.
Your lips are sweet as honey
Reiterating the sweetness of the person's lips but emphasizing the deceit or negativity within them.
But there's poison in your heart
Reinforcing the presence of harmful intentions or emotions within the person.
Maybe I'll find that fate, it can
Expressing hope for a chance to love again in the future.
Let me love again
Anticipating forgetting the unfulfilled dreams related to the person.
Then I'll forget my fickle dreams of you
Acknowledging the fleeting and unreliable nature of past dreams about the person.
It's just too bad we've never had
Commenting on the lack of a fair and balanced beginning in the relationship.
An even-steven start
Describing the person's lips as sweet but reiterating the presence of poison in their heart.
Your lips are sweet as honey
Emphasizing the deceptive or harmful nature within the person's emotions or intentions.
But there's poison in your heart
Repeating the notion that the person's lips are sweet, yet their heart contains poison.
