Toxic Strings

**Verse 1** You played your cards so well, your mask never fell, But underneath the charm, there was a ringing alarm. You drew me close with lies, hid your true disguise, A puppet on your string, I danced to your every whim. **Chorus** You were the poison in my veins, the whisper in my brain, Manipulation's grip, a toxic, deadly trip. I lost myself in you, but now I'm breaking through, No more games to play, I'm finding my own way. **Verse 2** Promises so sweet, a web of deceit, You kept me in the dark, tearing me apart. The truth I couldn't see, you made a fool of me, But now your hold is gone, I'm finally moving on. **Chorus** You were the poison in my veins, the whisper in my brain, Manipulation's grip, a toxic, deadly trip. I lost myself in you, but now I'm breaking through, No more games to play, I'm finding my own way. **Bridge** Every word you said, was a knife inside my head, Cutting deeper, making me a believer. But now I've seen the light, your shadows out of sight, I'm reclaiming my life, free from all the strife. **Chorus** You were the poison in my veins, the whisper in my brain, Manipulation's grip, a toxic, deadly trip. I lost myself in you, but now I'm breaking through, No more games to play, I'm finding my own way. **Outro** You thought you'd win the game, but I'm stronger than the pain, Your toxic touch is gone, and I'm finally moving on. No more lies to bind, I've left you far behind, In the light of a new day, I've found my own way.
