Toxic From The Start

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You were writing futures in my notebook I was drawing exits in the margin Every sweet promise had an asterisk Every soft kiss had a warning sign You were learning all of my passwords I was planning how to change my name We kept calling all of this "almost" While we set the whole house to flame [Chorus] Call us what we are Toxic from the start (from the start) Can’t pretend that I Was ever in the dark I saw the red flags waving Still I let you paint my heart Call us what we are Toxic from the start [Verse 2] You were saving screenshots for an argument I was practicing my speech in the car We were counting every little slight Like medals on a private war You were saying "This is the last time" I was saying "Yeah I know it’s not" (oh no) We kept pulling back the same wound Just to prove we both still got caught [Chorus] Call us what we are Toxic from the start (from the start) Can’t pretend that I Was ever in the dark I saw the red flags waving Still I let you paint my heart Call us what we are Toxic from the start [Bridge] Were we ever innocent? Or just better at the script Both hands on the detonator Saying "We can handle it" (handle it) [Chorus] Call us what we are Toxic from the start Can’t pretend that I Was ever in the dark I saw the red flags waving Still I let you paint my heart Call us what we are Toxic from the start
