Toxic Love
Lvly feat. Christine Smit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You take my love for granted
Say a bunch of stuff you never mean, yeah
I think I need a minute
To figure out my limits
You crossed them more than once, yeah
You take my love for granted

We keep on talkin' from body to body, yeah
Getting it closer to just being nothin' else, oh-oh

I'm a sucker for your love
Even though it's kinda toxic, baby
You know I feel it when we touch
That your love is from a different place
It's toxic, babe

Not sure what I expected
To think you wouldn't be so reckless
I keep on pretendin'
I know we better end it
I've said it more than once, yeah
You take my love for granted

We keep on talkin' from body to body, yeah
Getting it closer to just being nothin' else, oh-oh

I'm a sucker for your love
Even though it's kinda toxic, babe
You know I feel it when we touch
That your love is from a different place
It's toxic, babe

Nothin' more to say
Let's just waste away
One more time is all we need
A bitter truth to face
Not that innocent
We know what we did

I'm a sucker for your love
Even though it's kinda toxic, babe
You know I feel it when we touch
That your love is from a different place
It's toxic, babe

Oh, it's toxic




Yeah, yeah
It's toxic, babe

Overall Meaning

The song "Toxic Love" by Lvly feat. Christine Smit is a tale of a toxic relationship. The singer sings about how her partner takes her love for granted and says things he never means. She needs a minute to figure out her limits, as he has crossed them several times. They keep on talking from body to body, getting closer to being nothing else. Despite all that, the singer is a sucker for her lover's love even though it's toxic. She knows they should end it, as the truth is bitter, but they keep on indulging in the toxic love.


The lyrics show the complexity of a toxic relationship. The singer knows it's unhealthy, but she can't seem to walk away. The feelings of love and attachment are too strong, making it challenging to let go. She is aware that her partner is reckless with her love, but she keeps on pretending that everything is okay. The line "we know what we did" suggests that the couple is aware of their actions and the consequences of continuing their toxic relationship, but they keep on going. The song's tone is melancholic, and the rhythm is captivating, making it a fantastic piece of music.
