The Toxic Ones

from STATE OF THE ONION by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

The toxic ones are toxic no matter what you do
Let them in there long enough they take their toll on you
Oh the toxic ones don’t mean to be
It’s just the way they are
Whether it’s the bedroom or the office or the bar
It don’t matter ‘cause they’re toxic

The toxic ones are toxic
It’s always the behavior
But how long do you stick around trying to be a savior?
Every line to cross is different
And there’s some that stretch eternally
So the trick I guess is learning how to not take it so personally

But it’s so hard
You try and try and try but it’s so hard
Makes you want to cry
Because the toxic ones are toxic

The toxic ones are toxic no matter what you say
Let them shake you long enough they’ll break you one fine day
Oh the toxic ones don’t even know how deeply they affect
Everyone who cares about them but it’s more than they’d expect
It don’t matter ‘cause they’re toxic

The toxic ones are toxic
That’s usually how it turns out
But how long do you swallow it before your spirit burns out?
Oh you give so many passes that you end up losing count
If you love them it must surely be an infinite amount

But it’s so hard
You try and try and try
But it’s so hard
Makes you want to cry
Because it’s so hard
Blow a kiss and say goodbye

Because the toxic ones are toxic and that don’t ever change
You always wonder why they are the way they are, it’s strange
But the toxic ones can’t help it and God knows they have it rough
But when does someone finally say enough?
When does someone finally say enough?
When does someone finally say that it’s enough?
Enough
For me it’s now
