You could go "I'm breaking up with you as a friend because your toxic." Then leave and don't indulge any questions. Just block every social media and limit all interactions.
It's the most eloquent but will result in quite a lot of emotional turmoil.
If the person breaking up were a stronger person and clear with their decisions, they would lay out offenses made towards them then state it. If the answer isn't good enough "That reason is not good enough." They might ask "What is good enough?" but that's just copping out their responsibility on the breaker upper. "That's not my responsibility. Moving on." all while keeping a calm dead-set demeanor.
