All To Me

Addicted to your toxicity Addicted to that person inside of you The monstrosity

I’ll never leave you Some say I’ll bleed for you It might be true

Magnetic at first sight There was no turning back Everything went off The lights Only you That’s all I saw

You ignored me But you saw me And I saw you You were always playing mind games But I knew how to play back

That’s what you loved about me We were the same No judgement Whatever happens behind closed doors You were all for

Let’s get faded Let’s get wasted Let’s get lost Let’s go down under Let’s go to the only place We can run to

I loved you You loved me But we loved passed that line Now I can only see you down there I smile I’m in a better place But look where our love landed you

As I looked at you I felt the water I felt the warmth I felt the red in your eyes I felt the rage you tried to disguise And now there’s no one to save you This ended up being your greatest mistake
