"Violence" lyrics

Why we choosing violence?
After all this silence, some part of me
Is thinking it's worth trying
Love, it ain't a science, it's chemistry

Know I've been selfish, always thinking 'bout me (Thinking 'bout me)
Wanna try everything, but nothing's for free (Ah)
Why I gotta choose if it's me or you? Why I gotta cut it loose?
I just wanna have my cake and I wanna eat it too

But if you leave, if you leave, if you leave, baby, it's okay
'Cause I lie and I lie, can't believe in the words I say
Million times, said I won't do that
But you can tell when I fall off track
And you gon' yell, I'ma yell right back
Why?

Why we choosing violence? (Oh)
After all this silence, some part of me
Is thinking it's worth trying (Thinking it's worth trying)
Love, it ain't a science, it's chemistry

But the way you had me (Had me)
Way you had me, girl, ooh

Some things never work even if you try
No shame in a second time
Eventually, we'll forget 'bout the ties we shared
But do we really need to?
When I just wanna hear you
But my words, they mislead you
'Cause I just wanna have my cake and I wanna eat it too

But if you leave, if you leave, if you leave, baby, it's okay
'Cause I lie and I lie, can't believe in the words I say
Million times, said I won't do that
But you can tell when I fall off track
And you gon' yell, I'ma yell right back
Why?

Why we choosing violence? (Oh)
After all this silence, some part of me
Is thinking it's worth trying (Thinking it's worth trying, oh)
Love, it ain't a science, it's chemistry (Chemistry, yeah)

Chemistry, chemistry
Yeah, yeah, yeah
