Have you ever felt
Like you've been trapped in your head
From simple words that they said
They've been cold to you
Have you ever been
The only one who sees them
For who they really are and
There's nothing you can do
Behind my back you talk me down
It's no wonder you're in love with the sound
Of your voice spreading all your hurt around
Just bury your fake smile in the ground
Toxic energy
Someone steady me
Hold me back before I fall again
Toxic energy makes it hard to breathe
Choking but I see now who you are
Who you are
I bite my tongue and I grit my teeth
I woke up and I see now who you are
Who you are
How do you do it?
A magician in the way you hide yourself
So helpful on the outside
But you're always ready to strike
Latching on tightly to the opportunity
To make you look so good
Was too easy for you
There's nothing you won't do
Behind my back you talk me down
While you have me locked in your playground
I build you up while you watch me drown
Thinking you're so worthy of a crown
Toxic energy
Someone steady me
Hold me back before I fall again
Toxic energy makes it hard to breathe
Choking but I see now who you are
Who you are
I bite my tongue and I grit my teeth
I woke up and I see now who you are
Who you are
I always defended you
But I was wrong
Cut me loose, I'm out of here
Goodbye, so long
Now that I finally see
I can breathe again
The difference between you and me
Is that I can be a friend
