Glad We Broke Up

Yeah I’m addicted to that poisonous love,

Chasin’ what I ruined, guess it wasn’t enough.

I’m confused by the things that I want, gettin’ stuck,

And a voice in my mind says, “Don’t pick it up.”

But I pick it up anyway—

Crash my heart like every day,

I don’t know no other way,

Pain feel good in a twisted way.

⸻

Should’ve backed off but I fell in deep,

Should’ve left you there but you haunt my sleep.

I don’t hear my mind when it tries to speak,

All I hear is your voice when I’m feelin’ weak.

You were bad for me, I knew from the jump,

Killed my peace, put my heart in a slump.

Told myself “stop,” but I never confront,

Now I’m stuck on a high I should never have touched.

⸻

I keep repeating everything that broke me,

Every single warning sign still controls me.

Try to walk away but the memories hold me,

Toxic but the comfort feel like it knows me.

I be tryin’ hard just to heal that space,

But your ghost in the room every time I wake.

I be fighting with myself like it’s a high-speed chase,

Mind hits the brakes but my heart hits the gas again.

⸻

Tell me why the chaos feel like home to me?

Tell me why the pain feel like a melody?

Tell me why the broken parts still follow me?

Tell me why your poison tastes like therapy?

A: Yeah I’m addicted to that poisonous love,

Chasin’ what I ruined, guess it wasn’t enough.

Confused by the things that I want, gettin’ stuck,

And a voice in my mind says “Don’t pick it up.”

B (overlapping):

But you still come back to me,

Even when it’s bad for me,

You know you ain’t glad with me—

Yet you fall so tragically.

Both:

And we pick it up anyway,

Break each other every day,

We don’t know no other way,

Pain feel good in a twisted way.

⸻

Should’ve backed off but I fell in deep,

Should’ve left you alone but you haunt my sleep.

I hear your name when I’m feelin’ weak,

Even when my mind tells me not to speak.

You were bad for me, I knew from the jump,

Took my peace, put my heart in a slump.

Told myself “stop,” but I never confront,

Now I crave the chaos we can’t rise above.

⸻

I saw the damage every time that you called,

You said you loved me but you let me fall.

You didn’t fix it, you just built up walls—

Then acted confused when I withdrew it all.

Yeah, I’m toxic too, I won’t even lie,

You broke me first, now you askin’ why.

We hold each other but we both deny—

We run to the poison we can’t untie.

⸻

(Call-and-response, like arguing but still in love)

A: I don’t wanna let go but I know I should,

B: You don’t ever listen even when you could.

A: Every instinct say run—

B: But you stay for the rush.

A: It ain’t love if it hurts—

B: But we crave that touch.

A: I’m scared of healing ’cause it feels like loss,

B: And I’m scared of loving ’cause I fear the cost.

Both:

So we dive right back into what broke us both…

Even though we know… even though we know…

⸻

Tell me why the chaos feel like home to me?

Tell me why the pain feel like a melody?

Why the broken parts of you still calling me?

Why your poison tastes like therapy?

B (soft echo):

You’re bad for me… but you’re where I breathe…

⸻

A: Yeah I’m addicted to that poisonous love,

B: And I’m addicted to the way you mess us up.

A: I’m confused by the things that I want, gettin’ stuck—

B: And I know damn well you won’t give it up.

Both:

But we pick it up anyway,

Break each other every day,

We don’t know no other way,

Pain feel good in a twisted way.

B (fade):

Even when it hurts… you still stay…
