(VERSE 1)
You’re the pill that I can’t swallow
And the rush that keeps me high
You’re the truth I love to follow
And the sweetest, darkest lie
You poison all my water
But I’m dyin’ for a drink
You kiss me like a slaughter
And I love the way I sink
(PRE-CHORUS)
My hands are shakin’, heart is racin’
Which version of you am I facin’?
The one who saves me or the one who breaks me?
God, I hate the way you make me—
(CHORUS)
Love you like a fever, hate you like a scar
Toxic is the rhythm beatin' underneath my heart
Paranoid and crazy, obsessed and out of my mind
But your chaos is the only peace I can find
Yeah, your poison is my medicine, your madness is my cure
The sicker that you make me, the more I am yours
We’re toxic, we’re fatal, we’re broken and bizarre
But I’d still crash this whole world for you—that’s who we are
(VERSE 2)
You leave a trail of fingerprints
All over my brain
You whisper sweet apocalypse
And I go up in flames
I check your phone at 3 AM
I know it isn’t right
But losin’ you would be the end
So I hold on twice as tight
(PRE-CHORUS)
My head is spinnin’, walls are closin’
One minute tender, next you’re frozen
But when you hold me, I forget the pain
God, I love the way you drive me insane—
(CHORUS)
Love you like a fever, hate you like a scar
Toxic is the rhythm beatin' underneath my heart
Paranoid and crazy, obsessed and out of my mind
But your chaos is the only peace I can find
Yeah, your poison is my medicine, your madness is my cure
The sicker that you make me, the more I am yours
We’re toxic, we’re fatal, we’re broken and bizarre
But I’d still crash this whole world for you—that’s who we are
(BRIDGE)
Maybe I’m addicted to the damage
Maybe you’re addicted to the flame
But every time we almost break, we bandage
And we wear our scars like a last name
They say love shouldn’t hurt like this
But they don’t know our kind of bliss
The higher the risk, the harder I fall—
And I’d choose your hell over heaven at all
(FINAL CHORUS – more desperate)
Love you like a sickness, hate you like a wound
Toxic is the anthem playin' out of tune
Paranoid and feral, obsessed beyond repair
But your smoke is still my cleanest air
Yeah, your poison is my medicine, your madness is my cure
The sicker that you make me, the more I am yours
We’re toxic, we’re fatal, we’re beautiful and bizarre—
And I’d burn down the world just to keep where you are
(OUTRO)
I hate you… I love you…
I can’t breathe… don’t leave…
You’re toxic…
But so am I…
And that’s why we’ll never die.
