[Verse 1]
You were gonna fix me, never needed fixing
How’d I end up dead?
Baby, look at the sky
Crybaby lullaby
Put a gun to my head
I swear all these girls lie
Maybe it’s just by design
Demons all up in my bed
Hurt me like the last girl
Thought you were my whole world
Slowly kissing him instead
[Chorus]
Baby, yeah, we toxic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Colder than the arctic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest? Yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re fucking up my logic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest, honest?
[Verse 2]
Oh look now I’m stressing
He got you undressing
Never had to be this hard to begin with
Why you run and do that?
I can't fucking do that
Wanna leave, but I don’t know if I’d do it
Yeah, why’d you break my heart, girl?
Turned me to a monster
You’re pushing me to my edge
Putting me through all this hell
Babe, no, I’m not doing well
Burning like a cigarette
[Chorus]
Baby, yeah, we toxic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Colder than the arctic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest? Yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re fucking up my logic, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why you been dishonest, honest?
