Toxic

Do I know that you're toxic?
How could I miss it, love?
Ever since you've popped
into my life I've been addicted,
losing sleep staying up for you
long nights and too short days.

Don't I know why you're toxic:
Every wild tour of the town
never knowing ahead of time
whose place we wind up at
yours, mine, or someone
we only just met this night.

Don't I know that you're toxic!
You prove it to me every chance
you bring it with full Monty
for all to see where lie my dreams
that you rapidly flip to nightmare;
just keeping up I'm losing ground.

Don't you know that you're toxic?
You're killing more than this love,
you're killing the one you care for
wasting away and hollow eyed,
so either save me before expiring
or leave me to go in peace.
