Lyrics
My self-esteem is lower
Expressing low self-esteem
Than your morals
Comparing self-esteem to the listener's morals
Despite all that I've still been
Despite difficulties, avoiding phone calls
Dodging your phone calls
Avoiding communication with the listener
Cause I know as soon as I
Awareness of vulnerability when close
I let you near me
Anticipating vulnerability and potential manipulation
I'll fold like the deck of card you play
Expectation of being easily influenced
And hide up your sleeves
Reference to deception and hidden intentions
You're toxic in my veins
Describing the negative influence of the listener
Slowly bringing me to my knees
Feeling weakened by the toxic influence
Your constant dictating
Complaining about constant control and interference
Every little fucking thing
Expressing frustration with micromanagement
Is too much for me
Feeling overwhelmed by the listener's demands
So trust me when I say
Expressing a preference for solitude
I'd rather go alone
Choosing independence over the listener's influence
And some way and someday
Believing the listener will eventually be alone
You'll be on your own
Anticipating the listener's solitude in the future
And then you'll know
Emphasizing efforts to understand the listener's perspective
I've tried I swear I have
Expressing sincere attempts to see the other's viewpoint
To see your point of view
Struggling with distorted perspectives
But it's so difficult when
Highlighting challenges in understanding the listener
Your perspective's skewed
Referencing skewed perspectives in favor of the listener
Ever in your favor
Using a phrase from "The Hunger Games" to imply manipulation
And you always knew
Implied knowledge of manipulative tactics
How to keep me under your thumb
Being under the control of the listener
And keep me subdued
Expressing submission and suppression
You're toxic in my veins
Reiterating the negative impact of the listener
Slowly bringing me to my knees
Continued weakening by the toxic influence
Your constant dictating
Repetition of complaints about constant control
Every little fucking thing
Re-emphasizing frustration with micromanagement
Is too much for me
Reiteration of being overwhelmed by demands
So trust me when I say
Restating the preference for solitude
I'd rather go alone
Choosing independence despite difficulties
And some way and someday
Believing the listener will eventually be alone
You'll be on your own
Reiterating the anticipation of the listener's solitude
And then you'll know
Emphasizing the inevitability of the listener being alone
I've given all I have
Expressing complete effort without reciprocation
Still it was never enough
Feeling unappreciated despite giving everything
To be the one that you would
Not being the chosen support in challenging times
Turn to when the going got tough
Disregarding the importance of being a support
But like that even matters
Downplaying the significance of the situation
Or like I even care
Indifference towards the listener's opinion
Cause I'm so far beyond you now
Claiming superiority and distance
And you will never compare
Asserting the listener's inferiority
You're nothing, nothing at all
Complete dismissal of the listener
You will regret this when you take your fall
Predicting regret for the listener in the future
You're nothing, nothing to me
Emphasizing the insignificance of the listener
You'll never see all I can be
Underscoring the listener's inability to perceive potential
