"Toxic love & sweet lies"
For almost 2 years I thought I was cool
But little did I know I was being a fool
Blinded by love I let my heart do the talking
When I should've used my head and just kept walking
I thought I could actually open up this time
I thought for once in life that I'd be fine
I gave up everything to see her smile
She gave me an inch while I gave her a mile
Never again will anyone get that close
Cuz I'll disappear so quick you can call me "ghost"
I'm tired of always putting my heart on the line
And then when it goes wrong I claim the blame as mine
That just proves its me, myself, and I
Imma take this journey solo until the day I die
Yeah its cold but in the end Im strong
I should've believed what they said all along
I lost everything because I listened to my heart
Next time I'll stop it before it can start
I was a fool to think it was love
Now Im buried in myself while she laughs from above
Maybe I deserved it for what I've done
I mean who could really want me my hope is gone
They say Im alright and not to beat myself down
But I've struggled for so long that Im starting to drown
Maybe its a lesson I had to learn
Cuz when it comes to love, I just crash and burn
