Toxic

I won't dull my light for you, I won't change what's deep within

I won't trust the lies in you, you won't drag me down and pull me in


You hide in shadows behind fake smiles, you're too good at playing games

You plead innocence and ignorance, all the while your toxic behavior takes center stage


Waisted hours and energy giving too much thought

You're not worth it you don't deserve it, do I forgive you? I think not


I've warned others but who am I to change their minds

 I'll sit back and watch as your true colors show through in time


If you're pleased with yourself, I'm deeply sorry for you

I can't imagine what living in oblivion day to day could do


Don't smile and please don't say hi

Don't pretend you're not a total lie


Once you hurt me then its goodbye

And if it's someone I love you cease to exist

You better believe I won't cry
