True Love Is Violent

[Verse 1:]
The surface of the water is serene
But what goes on below?
Hungry current sucking at your feet
It won't let go.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Tossed 'til we capsized
Battered and bruised
Say it's the last time
We know the truth.

[Chorus:]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But hell is ours to face
Ah-oh
True love is violent
Ah-oh
True love is violent, violent.

[Verse 2:]
Stirring in the sugar cubes of salt
Pollute to purify
Drowning in my body, mind, and thoughts
My mouth is dry.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Tossed 'til we capsized
Battered and bruised
Say it's the last time
We know the truth.

[Chorus:]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But hell is ours to face
Ah-oh
True love is violent
Ah-oh
True love is violent, violent.

[Bridge:]
After the storm
After the rain
I'm juvenile
I'm born again
(Ahh-ahh)

[Chorus:]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But hell is ours to face
Ah-oh
True love is violent
Ah-oh
True love is violent, violent.
