He's Toxic

Irritation shakes my body as I discover the truth,
discover that you’ve been lying to me this whole time.
You love him, don’t keep denying it.
You promised me that you were through with him,
that you’ve had it with his games,
so why do you keep going back to him?
I thought if I warned you, you’d listen.
I tried to help you,
I tried to be a good friend,
but you wouldn’t let me.

After all I’ve been through with him,
I think I have the right to protect you.
The things he said, the things he did,
would hurt you until you understand that he’s insane,
that he doesn’t really love you.
He’s in love with being in love,
theres no hiding that,
for how else could he have moved on so quickly?
When he claims that he still hurts inside,
that he’s just pretending to be ok,
are just lies meant to bring you guilt,
and you let him get into your head.
I tried to tell you,
and now all I can do is watch,
but I won’t come too close;
he’s toxic.
