"Poison Arrows" lyrics

"Poison Arrows"

Long time no see
Did you wear that dress for me or is someone else writing you songs?
I need a drink and I need you to see me like you used to
Like before I introduced you to my shadows

How 'bout a round of poison arrows?
The first one burns but then you'll feel good

I see your faults and I raise you mine
I see it's too late to apologize
I see all my friends are long gone
Was it me? Or something I said?
An uninteresting drug with uninteresting side-effects?

I blame these poison arrows
A better man would have walked away by now

Sometimes at night, in my mind, I go to the wrong side of town
I don't know what that means but I'm sure of one thing
That which doesn't kill me makes me wish that I were dead

Goddamn these poison arrows
Would you like to... Oh, never mind

Last call for poison arrows
I know, I don't have to stay here, but I can't go home
