Toxic Waste
Breaking Free from Toxic Ties
Lyrics
The lights went off too early, but tonight I'm only starting
The evening ended prematurely, but now I'm just beginning.
I'm done with poisoning myself 'cause I'm sick of your toxic waste
I've decided to stop harming myself because I'm tired of dealing with your harmful influence.
You wanted honesty, I guess, it was something you never had
You asked for honesty, but it seems like something unfamiliar to you.
But you should try it out and make it work, before wasting all my time
Suggesting that the person should try honesty and make the relationship work before wasting time.
I'm done with saving you
I'm no longer going to rescue or save you.
I'm done with making things alright
Putting an end to the effort of making things okay.
I'm done with acting like I know what's going on inside your mind
No longer pretending to understand what's happening in the other person's mind.
I never wanted to
Expressing a lack of desire to feel the constant need to fight.
Feel like I'm always trying to fight
Feeling tired of always being in a struggle.
But you were fine with yourself while I was just wasting all my time
Pointing out the unfairness of the situation where one person is content while the other wastes time.
I said I'm sorry, but I guess you were the one who fucked it up
Apologizing, but also attributing the failure to the other person.
You wanted less, I gave you more and still, you think it's not enough
Despite giving more, the other person still feels dissatisfied.
I'm tired of trying all I can to save you from yourself and, yeah
Expressing fatigue from trying to save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
I realized that nothing's changed and you were not even my type
Realizing that nothing has changed and acknowledging incompatibility.
I'm done with saving you
Reiterating the decision to stop saving the other person.
I'm done with making things alright
Reaffirming the decision to stop making things right.
I'm done with acting like I know what's going on inside your mind
No longer pretending to understand the other person's thoughts.
I never wanted to
Reiterating the lack of desire to engage in constant fights.
Feel like I'm always trying to fight
Expressing the feeling of always being in a struggle.
But you were fine with yourself while I was just wasting all my time
Highlighting the contrast between the person's well-being and the speaker's wasted time.
And every time we go back in
Expressing hope for positive change each time they return to the relationship.
I hope something's gonna change
An expectation for something to change in the relationship.
Fresh bruises covering my memories
Referencing emotional pain through metaphorical bruises.
I'm drunk on my own mistakes
Being intoxicated by one's own mistakes.
I'm done with saving you
Reiterating the decision to stop saving the other person.
I'm done with making things alright
Reaffirming the decision to stop making things right.
I'm done with acting like I know what's going on inside your mind
No longer pretending to understand the other person's thoughts.
I never wanted to
Reiterating the lack of desire to engage in constant fights.
Feel like I'm always trying to fight
Expressing the feeling of always being in a struggle.
But you were fine with yourself while I was just wasting all my time
Highlighting the contrast between the person's well-being and the speaker's wasted time.
I said I'm done with you
Declaring the finality of being done with the other person.
I said I'm done with you
Repeating the declaration of being done with the other person for emphasis.
I said I'm done with you
-Done with you
Finalizing the statement of being done with the other person.
