Poison in the Well Lyrics by William Bell

This Is Where I Live

2016

[Verse 1]
She didn’t have to do too much
The moment I saw her face
It was all over for me
The moment I fell from grace
I don’t know how it happened
But it went from bad to worse
It’s true what they say about love
It’s a blessing and a curse
[Chorus]
She put poison in the well
Poison in the well
Poison in the well
Oh and I drank it
[Verse 2]
Like Adam in the garden of Eden
I climbed the forbidden tree
It didn’t take a snake to make a big mistake
It seemed like paradise to me
Like Samson and Delilah
She left him without his sight
He was bought and sold for a bag of gold
He was just too weak to fight
[Chorus]
She put poison in the well
Poison in the well
Poison in the well
And I drank
And I drank it
[Bridge]
After everything she put me through
I still lie awake and wait
For her to walk back in that door
To kiss my lips and seal my fate
[Chorus]
She put poison in the well
Poison in the well
Poison in the well
And I drank it
Poison in the well
Poison in the well
Poison in the well
And I drank it
And I drank it
