"Should've Known..."

I was naive,
your love was like candy
artificially sweet.

I was deceived by the wrapping
got caught in your web
and I learned to bleed.

I was prey in your bed and devoured completely.
And it hurts my soul cause I can't let go;
all these walls are caving in on me.

And I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
cause I keep goin right back to the one thing I need to walk away from.

I should have known that I was used for amusement
I couldn't see through the smoke
it was all an illusion.

Now I've been licking my wounds
but the venom seeps deeper
we both can seduce
but, baby, you hold me prisoner.

I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
and I'm fiendin for a cure.

Every step I take
leads to the one mistake
I keep goin right back to the one thing I need.

I'm about to break
and I can't stop this ache
gettin nothin in return.
What did I do to deserve
the pain of this slow burn?
And everywhere I turn
I keep goin right back to the thing I need to walk away from...
