Title: Baby, I’ll Bleed You Dry
Notes: Recently, a friend of mine had her heart broken by someone she’s loved for many years. Having been happy throughout their (toxic) relationship, she couldn’t quite understand why he broke it off as suddenly and as ruthlessly as he did. I tried to explain to her (quite stupidly, mind you) that some relationships… are doomed from the start. This is for her…and those relationships. Encompassing most toxic relationships (abusive: verbal, physical, emotional; one-sided relationships, relationships that ended badly because of infidelity; relationships you know you should have never started).
Misc. Notes: A very large mix. The largest I’ve ever created; with a very eclectic compilation. Some songs contain expletives. No particular order for the play list. I wanted to showcase the ups and downs of toxic love like a rollercoaster. I, personally, find playing the list on a shuffle works well.
