Poison Lovers Lyrics - Steve Earle

I was almost outta here 

I nearly left this time 

I saw you in my rear view 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 

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 

Why do we do this to each other 

Guess we were always poison lovers 

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
