This poisoned rose
I threw myself upon the floor
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
Give me just a fraction
This poisoned rose
I threw away my shirt and shoes
Where you lie half undressed
It left me half alive
But no more medicine
That you call my junkyard
Into this very sad affair
And half in ecstasy
You looked and I dived in
It's just you and me now
I received from you
That you wear at your best
That you take straight to the heart
The poisoned rose
But I couldn't throw away
And all your worn-out clothes
I don't know, how we came to grow
Everytime we do the decent thing
Is save pieces of you
I threw away your alibis
On a Valentine card
Like the poisoned rose
'Cause I threw away the gin
And a single becomes a pair
But if half of your love
The poisoned rose
The piece of your heart
The piece of your mind
Is all I can win
Somebody spikes the drink
Didn't tear me apart
But if all I can do
