​i choose violence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You told me I was eighteen going on thirty-five You made me feel like the smartest human alive I thought I was clever, but, were you clever-er You said you never fell in love like you did with me You paid for all the hotels, I paid for fake ID's To spend the last ten years tryna piece it together [Pre-Chorus] I went to therapy religiously I never sleep I made my brother promise me hе'd let you live And I guess I could forgivе [Chorus] But I choose violence, I choose war For all the little girls that should be warned I could choose silence, but what for? You took my innocence Now I'll take yours So I choose violence And I might die tryin' [Verse 2] Now you're prolly her world and she won't understand That all you need is a girl to feel like a man Tell your friends she's a friend at your hometown dive But when you were thirteen she wasn't alive And by the time you were eighteen, well, that girl was five You had a teaching degree while she was learnin' how to drive And you'll make her feel safe like you made me feel safe Like, oh my god, you're so mature for your age Except she's not your age [Chorus] So I choose violence, I choose war For all the little girls that should be warned I could choose silence, but what for? You took my innocence Now I'll take yours [Bridge] And you'll choose hiding at fourty-four In your mothers house; she'll guard the door But I'll choose anger, I'll choose rage When I build an army of girls half your age, oh [Chorus] We'll all choose violence, we'll all choose war And every little girl will be warned We won't choose silence, not anymore You took our innocence, now we'll take yours So I choose violence And I maybe I'll die trying
