CHEMICAL

The Rose

I made it out the other side
Was addicted to your pretty lies
I was standing in the wreckage
Of a thousand almost goodbyes
Your high was like nicotine
And your low was like heroin
I was drowning in the damage
Your overdose, yeah, it nearly killed me

Somehow I took the antidote
I'm out, I finally let you go

All I feel now
I'm free 'cause I know that it's over
Got clean, now I'm finally sober
I can breathe now
Honestly, baby, it wasn't love at all
Toxic, your love was chemical

Now I barely hear your voice at night
Like a tattoo that is fadin' out
Every memory's losing colour
Now it's painted black and white
Your touch was like adrenaline
Always left me coming back for more
Now the poison's out my system
There's no trace of you beneath my skin

Somehow I took the antidote
I'm out, I finally let you go

All I feel now
I'm free 'cause I know that it's over
Got clean, now I'm finally sober
I can breathe now
Honestly, baby, it wasn't love at all
Toxic, your love was chemical

Toxic, your love was chemical
