"TOXIC" lyrics
Toxic
Toxic
Toxic
Toxic
If it's picture-perfect, I won't ever want it
Ruin everything I touch, yeah, I must be on it
Precious memories always make me nauseous
I would rather burn quick than to live with caution
Passion on the lips and the imperfection
Being too complacent, that is a rare infection
Maybe we are heading in the wrong direction
But I would rather crash than force another fake connection
Every time I get a step ahead, I screw it up
Every time I'm making progress, then I come undone
I build a sanctuary just to tear it down for fun
So maybe you should run, run
I swore that I'd eat you alive, these are my warning shots
Tell me that you're reading the sign, I'm begging you, shut me off
Every single song that I wrote is drowned in tragedy
I'm not worth the pain and the price, please, let me just set you free
I'm no saint, no role model, or a prophet
Guess one thing is certain, you'll find out I'm catastrophic
Sure, I'm self-aware, that's about the only logic
Don't say I didn't warn you when you realize I'm toxic
Reckless and neurotic
One minute I'm all about it, next second I'm off it
I'm shameless, nothing ever changes
I wish I could settle for a life that's mostly painless, but
Every time I get a step ahead, I screw it up
Every time I'm making progress, then I come undone
I build a sanctuary just to tear it down for fun
So maybe you should run, run
I swore that I'd eat you alive, these are my warning shots
Tell me that you're reading the sign, I'm begging you, shut me off
Every single song that I wrote is drowned in tragedy
I'm not worth the pain and the price, please, let me just set you free
