Rosé - Toxic Till The End
[Verse 1]
Call us what we are, toxic from the start
Can't pretend that I was in the dark
When you met my friends, didn't even try with them
I should've known right then
[Pre-Chorus]
That you were jealous and possessive
So manipulatin'
Honestly, impressive
You had me participatin'
[Chorus]
Back then, when I was runnin' out of your place
I said, "I never wanna see your face"
I meant I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic till the end
Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closеr?"
You were plotting how to stay in my head
Wе were toxic till the end
[Interlude]
Ladies and gentlemen
I present to you
The ex
You might also like[Verse 2]
His favourite game is chess, who would ever guess?
Playing with the pieces in my chest
Now he's on the screen and saying, "Don't leave"
You stole that line from me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're just jealous and possessive
So manipulatin'
Honestly, impressive
You had me participatin'
[Chorus]
Back then, when I was runnin' out of your place
I said, "I never wanna see your face"
I meant I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic till the end
Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"
You were plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic till the end, end, end
[Bridge]
I can forgive you for a lot of things
For not giving me back my Tiffany rings
I'll never forgive you for one thing, my dear
You wasted my prettiest years
[Chorus]
Back then, when I was runnin' out of your place
I said, "I never wanna see your face"
I meant I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic
Uh-huh, 'cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"
You were plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic till the end, end, end
We were toxic till the end, end, end
“toxic till the end” is the second single from ROSÉ’s first studio album, rosie. It was first teased through her album global listening parties all over the world on December 4. Lyrically, ROSÉ shares her feelings about her love-hate relationship, saying that even though she hated her ex for doing unforgivable things, she still wanted to go back into that toxic relationship. Initially the song was called “the x” when it was written, as she revealed on Zane Lowe Show: That song was actually supposed to be called “the x.” We started writing it being like, 'Oh, my God, it's about time, we've talked about the ex a bit too much, it's about time that we write a song called the x,' but then we came up with a better punchline so we put it in that section where like, I need to talk about it.
