Heroine
runaground Lyrics

Oh I keep keep telling myself its gonna be different now
Despite realizing that I'm stuck in a toxic dynamic, I'm still convincing myself that it will eventually change for the better.

You had me fooled for a minute under your spell now I'm in it
You manipulated me for a brief moment, and now I'm trapped under your influence.

I keep keep drinking you down but it doesn't sit well
I continue to indulge in this addiction, but it's becoming increasingly unpleasant and detrimental.

Goes down smooth for a minute then I'm on the ground head spinning
Initially, it's easy to get sucked in, but the longer I stay, the more disorienting and damaging it becomes.

I just can't stop you got what I want like an innocent drug
I'm hooked on the good parts of our dynamic, even though I know it's ultimately destructive.

I lose so you can help me win
I'm willing to sacrifice my well-being in order to keep chasing the validation and satisfaction I get from you.

Took the easy way out handed over my doubt
Instead of facing my own insecurities and struggles, I've relied on you to make me feel better about myself.

Traded my heart for the heroine
I've given up my own emotional well-being for the destructive comfort of staying in this dynamic.

You push push pulling me in commit the cardinal sin
You use manipulative tactics to draw me back in, even though it's clearly not good for either of us.

The tale tale sign of the heart when something's fallin' apart
The subtle signs of a failing relationship become more and more obvious as it continues to crumble.

You close your eyes for a second you realize that you're breakin
Once the rose-colored glasses come off, it's clear that this dynamic is causing harm and pain.

It's a killer love and I'm losing blood
This relationship is slowly but surely draining me of my emotional and mental health.

So I'm giving up cause my heartbeat is fading
I've realized that this dynamic is not sustainable, and I need to walk away before it destroys me completely.

So just pull the plug cause my heartbeat is fading
It's time to end this toxic dynamic before it completely drains me of my emotional and mental energy.

Woah oh woah oh oh
A repeated refrain, perhaps showing the cyclical nature of this kind of toxic dynamic.

Traded my heart for the heroine
Once again driving home the idea that staying in this toxic dynamic is a destructive substitution for true emotional health and well-being.
