Toxic Love
I gave you everything and
it still wasn't enough.
It was never enough
You made me feel like I was
nothing.
Made me believe
That I was difficult to love.
And like a fool I kept trying,
I kept trying till it became
too much.
I got in so deep that I lost
who I was
I knew it was toxic
I knew it wasn't right
But no matter how bad things got
I couldn't help but try
I told myself it would be
different this time
I couldn't give up
Constantly battling
over whether if this is love
or lust?
Cause if it's love
Then why was it so messed
up?
I would treat myself like
nothing
Yet to you
I gave so much
And then you go and break my
heart
Tell me that you're sorry
and that this is a fresh start.
And like a fool, I'd wait.
wait for the day you'd make
another mistake.
A part of me wants to
speak up,
But I hesitate.
It's like you're controlling me
you've infected my brain.
How do I escape when you've
become part of my DNA?
Even when you're gone
I'm still the one left with
all the pain.
He said he's sorry
He told me he didn't mean
it and that he's going to change.
And I choose to believe him
when he says he won't hurt
me again.
I'm not expecting you to
understand.
Go ahead judge me
But if I lose him
I'll have nobody
Do you get that?
Who wants to live a life
where they're alone and empty?
I need him just as much as he
needs me.
In some sick twist of fate.
He completes me.
That's why it works.
We just keep going
Till one of us inevitably gets
hurts
so yeah
I choose to stay
Go ahead and call me weak.
I'm not expecting you to
understand, just know that
leaving someone is not that
easy.
He's gotten into my mind
and without him I'm
paralyzed.
To the point where I force
myself to believe him every
time he apologizes.
Even though I know it's all lies.
Every waking moment I cry.
I've gotten used to it.
It doesn't hurt so much
anymore.
I've become numb to it
I've become sore.
And in some sick twisted way
he's my only cure
What can I say?
I'm incredibly flawed.
Love isn't like what you see
on tv
this is what it's like
this is my reality
It's not as magical as they
portray it in a Disney movie.
It's a lot of pain and sacrifice.
you just keep pushing
until you bleed.
