[Verse 1] I know you’d probably rather I say nothing now Tie it up all clean Act like what you did was small And what we were was never that deep But I won’t shrink it down for you Just so you can feel right You don’t get to leave a bruise Then tell me I’m alright [Chorus] So I’ll choke on this before I fake it I won’t dress it up in white You don’t get to wreck me softly Then sleep just fine at night If I loved you, then I meant it And that truth still cuts in two You can call me what you want to But you don’t get to make me a liar over you [Verse 2] I know I wasn’t easy I know I came with teeth But you knew exactly where to touch And still pulled the floor from under me So if forever’s off the table Then say it with your whole damn face Don’t leave me here half-burning While you wash your hands of blame [Chorus] So I’ll choke on this before I fake it I won’t dress it up in white You don’t get to wreck me softly Then sleep just fine at night If I loved you, then I meant it And that truth still cuts in two You can call me what you want to But you don’t get to make me a liar over you [Bridge] Years from now if I see you somewhere Looking holy in new skin I’ll smile like I forgot it While the knife just twists again You’ll think I let it die You’ll think you got away clean But some of us leave haunted And some just leave the scene [Final Chorus] So I’ll choke on this before I fake it I won’t dress it up in white You don’t get to wreck me softly Then sleep just fine at night If I loved you, then I meant it And I won’t unsay the truth You can bury what you did to me But you don’t get to make me small for loving you [Outro] You can leave But you don’t get the rewrite
