Quotable Lyrics:
Back then, when I was runnin’ out of your place
I said, “I never wanna see your face”
I meant I couldn’t wait to see it again
We were toxic till the end
Uh-huh, ’cause even when I said it was over
You heard, “Baby, can you pull me in closеr?”
You were plotting how to stay in my head
Wе were toxic till the end
