Verse 1:
Highs and lows are part of any part of life
When I’m at my peak I don’t think anything can stop me
Somehow we both reach the top side by side
But when one of us falls we’re both along for the ride
Pre-Chorus 1:
Try to build up a tolerance
Just to make it one more day
Don’t let it get to me or else
We might unravel
Paranoia fuels my mind
Growing as I fade away
I’m going nowhere now but
I don’t want to stay
Chorus 1:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe and keep her close
Verse 2:
Doesn’t matter how much I prepare myself
Every time it reappears it comes as a complete surprise
Never seems to give me any warning signs
Or have I just grown blind because I see them all the time
Pre-Chorus 2:
Try my best to hide my fear
Can’t allow it to show through
If I can make it past this one I swear
It will just get better
Little lies I tell myself
This is just the way I choose
To cope with the situation
I can’t afford to lose
Chorus 2:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe and keep her close
Bridge:
All the symptoms point to excess concentrations
Focusing on all the things that matter least of all
Gotta find a cure for this before I can’t go on
Am I overreacting again
Chorus 1:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But she’s literally toxic to me now
I want to reach out hold her tight
Even though I know that’s gonna
Bring me down
Kill me oh so slowly
I can see the end approaching
How do I stay safe when
Final Chorus:
She’s the best when she’s at her best
But how can we save ourselves from disaster
Outro:
We make the perfect team of two
Until it’s down to me versus you
There’s only so much I can do
I guess we’ll fall together
We make the perfect team of two
Until it’s down to me versus you
There’s only so much I can do
I guess we’ll fall together now
Toxic to me
