Lyrics

Intro

Mm

You got a way of staying

Long after you're gone

Verse 1

I found your shadow in my room

Hanging from the back of my door

Thought I cleared you out for good

But somehow you're everywhere once more

Every word you ever said

Still circles like a satellite

I hate the way it echoes back

On the nights I can't shut off my mind

Pre-Chorus

You left fingerprints

Underneath my skin

And I'm still trying

To wash them off again

Chorus

Get your toxins out of me

Running through my bloodstream

Like a fever I can't break

Like a habit I can't shake

You took up every empty space

Now I'm pulling you away

I don't want your memory

Living underneath my veins

Get your toxins

Out of me

Verse 2

You wore honesty so well

I almost thought it could be true

Funny how the sweetest mouth

Could leave the deepest bruise

Now I hear your name and laugh

At all the damage that it did

You were never what I wanted

Just something I got used to

Pre-Chorus

You left fingerprints

Underneath my skin

And I'm still trying

To wash them off again

Chorus

Get your toxins out of me

Running through my bloodstream

Like a fever I can't break

Like a habit I can't shake

You took up every empty space

Now I'm pulling you away

I don't want your memory

Living underneath my veins

Get your toxins

Out of me

Bridge

What the hell was I defending?

What was I trying to save?

You built a fire in my head

Then watched it burn for days

And every promise that you made

Was smoke above the flame

So tell me why it took this long

To finally walk away

Breakdown

I don't miss you

I miss who I was

Before I learned

How to survive your love

Final Chorus

Get your toxins out of me

Running through my bloodstream

Like a fever I can't break

Like a habit I can't shake

You don't get another piece of me

You don't get another night

I'm letting all the poison leave

And watching it disappear

Get your toxins

Out of me

Out of me

Out of me

Outro

The air feels different now

I can finally breathe
