Toxic love

Strange to hold these feelings inside
Because I still fall for your eyes
Even after all you’ve done and will do
Why do I still feel this way about you?

I still remember the first time we met
Sitting on the bench, watching the sunset
Some things are just not meant to be
But this one could have been another love story

So please don’t blame me too
’Cause I never thought that one day I would fall for you
The reason I can’t keep on smiling is because of all I’ve seen
I’ve been faking a smile so that you could stay for a while

Who’s gonna love you like I once did? 
You’ll have to search for another but they ain’t real
Said I was gonna love you through the fire
Hate that you made me become a liar

I’ve been looking down in this little town
I’ve been faking a smile so that you could stay for a while 
I only need you by my side
So please stay and don’t hide

I was gonna love you through it all
Because of you, I finally know who I am
I wish that I’d made you fall 
That you would once be mine
But already had another call 
And another line

Strange to hold these feelings inside
Because I still fall for your lies
Even after all you’ve done and will do
Why do I still feel this way about you?
