"On Purpose (For My Future Daughter)" lyrics

"On Purpose (For My Future Daughter)"

Does it feed your ego?
You're pretty good at this
Selling lies 'til they're all sold
You must be so damn rich

Maybe you should pick up a hobby
Another way of using your body
That's not so mass destructive
Head or heart crushing
'Cause that's not what love is

So tell me, did you have it, did you have it planned out?
Tell me, did you know exactly when you'd let me down?
No logical reason, you'll get off on the feeling
Of preying on my weakness like that

And that's not even the worst of it
It's that you did it on purpose
(You did it on, you did it on, you did it on) Purpose
(You did it on, you did it on, you did it on) Purpose

You've seen me fully clothed naked
Stripped me right down to my core
And I gave you my blueprint
You used it and abused it
You told me to my face that I was safe

Thank God you're just a part of my twenties
Thank God we're not married with a family
'Cause I don't want my daughters thinking it's normal
It's not and never will be what love is

So tell me, did you have it, did you have it planned out?
Tell me, did you know exactly when you'd let me down?
No logical reason, you'll get off on the feeling
Of preying on my weakness like that

If I were you, I'd have some trouble getting sleep at night
If you were me, you'd see why I think everything's a lie
No logical reason, you'll get off on the feeling
Of preying on my weakness like that

And that's not even the worst of it
It's that you did it on purpose
(You did it on, you did it on, you did it on) Purpose
(You did it on, you did it on, you did it on) Purpose

(You did it on, you did it on, you did it on) You said you did it on purpose
(You did it on, you did it on)
Yeah, and that's not even the worst of it
It's that you did it on purpose
