[English]

Call us what we are, toxic from the start

Can't pretend that I was in the dark

When you met my friends, didn't even try with them

I should've known right then

That you were jealous and possessive

So manipulatin'

Honestly, impressive

You had me participatin'

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 'til the end

Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over

You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"

You were plottin' how to stay in my head

We were toxic 'til the end

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the ex

His favorite game is chess, who would ever guess?

Playin' with the pieces in my chest

Now he's on the screen and sayin', "Don't leave"

You stole that line from me

'Cause you're just jealous and possessive

So manipulatin'

Honestly, impressive

You had me participatin'

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 'til the end

Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over

You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"

You were plottin' how to stay in my head

We were toxic 'til the end, end, end

I can't forgive you for all of the things

For not givin' me back my Tiffany rings

I'll never forgive you for one thing, my dear

You wasted my prettiest years

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

Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over

You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"

You were plottin' how to stay in my head

We were toxic 'til the end, end, end

We were toxic 'til the end, end, end
