Verse 1:
I gave you all my heart,
You took it like a toy,
Playing with my feelings,
A game you’d always deploy.
Chorus:
Toxic love, it’s poison in disguise,
You were never there to see through my cries.
Just a puppet master pulling on my strings,
I was lost in the chaos that your selfishness brings.
Verse 2:
You wanted me to listen,
To every word you say,
But when I spoke my mind,
You turned and walked away.
Chorus:
Toxic love, it’s poison in disguise,
You were never there to see through my cries.
Just a puppet master pulling on my strings,
I was lost in the chaos that your selfishness brings.
Bridge:
Can’t you see this is hurting me?
I’m drowning in your sea of insecurity.
Finding strength in the wreckage you’ve made,
I’m tearing down these walls, I won’t be your shade.
Chorus:
Toxic love, it’s poison in disguise,
You were never there to see through my cries.
Just a puppet master pulling on my strings,
I was lost in the chaos that your selfishness brings.
Outro:
I’m breaking free from your grip tonight,
No more shadows, I’m stepping into the light.
Toxic love, your reign is done,
I’ll find my own path, I’ll finally run.
