[Intro]
Gimme the poison
I love the poison
Hooked on the poison

[Chorus]
I can't believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run... (so long ago, and so far away)
I can't believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison

[Verse]
Get out my head, get out my bed
I don't believe those three words that you said
Pocket of lies, crystal blue eyes
Hit the ground hard when I dropped from the skies
You're coming up when I'm going down
Never in sync, so we just sank and drowned
Press restart and reboot my heart
But I'm not a robot, so I fell apart
Before the moment we met, we were chatting on the internet
Getting kinda close through the posts that we were looking at
I was pretty confident, you were pretty into that
I linked you to my music just to see if you'd be into it
So fuck the prologue, read the internet blogs
Gonna love this style and I came from the clubs
I wasn't looking for a thug, I was looking for a bad boy
Bad boy, motherfucker, destroy

[Chorus]
I can't believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run... (so long ago, and so far away)
I can't believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run... (so long ago, and so far away)
I can't believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison
I want the poison, I need the poison
Gimme the poison, I love the poison
Hooked on the poison

[Interlude]
(So far away...
So long ago, and so far away
So far away...
So long ago, and so far away)

[Bridge]
Now I know for sure that we've got to end this
You don't get no last kiss
'Cause you're so damn crazy, and I'm so damn helpless
So don't text my number
And don't call my mother
I can't see your face now
'Cause this is over

[Chorus]
I can't believe all those things that you said
You broke my heart and you fucked with my head, again
So I run... (so long ago, and so far away)
I can't believe all those things that you said
You are the poison, I drank the poison
(So long ago, and so far away)

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
