[Intro]
You had
Too many long nights
Too many closed fists
Too many wrong fights
[Verse 1]
You flinch when the door hits
You hide when a phone rings
You sleep in your sneakers
Ready to run from anything
I see the scars that you fold in your sleeves
Names that you never say
Houses you had to leave
You grew up praying that the floorboards stayed quiet
Dinner like a riot
Hands on your throat, had you begging for silence
But I’m here now
Whole different script now
Anybody touch you
They get ripped down
You don’t gotta watch the exits
You don’t gotta pack a bag
You just breathe
I’ll carry every flag
[Chorus]
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
I’ll trade my freedom, or my breath, or my blood for yours
I love you too much
I love you too much (yeah)
You been through hell, that’s enough, now they answer to the lord
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
[Verse 2]
All those “men” that were monsters
All those nights that they stomped you
Every bruise, every busted lip
Got a list, I could hunt through
You still shake in your sleep
Mutter names in the dark
I kiss your forehead and swear
I’ll be teeth, I’ll be spark
I’ll be the wall ‘tween you and the world
You ain’t never gonna cry like that again, girl
Let ‘em talk slick, I don’t argue on phones
I show up in person, I break every bone
You ain’t property, you ain’t prey, you a crown
Anybody pull you down, I put ‘em in the ground
I ain’t playing, I ain’t calm, I’m a storm
Try you once, they get read like a form
[Chorus]
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
I’ll trade my freedom, or my breath, or my blood for yours
I love you too much
I love you too much (too much)
You been through hell, that’s enough, now they answer to the lord
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
[Bridge]
I’m not your past
I’m your last line
They want smoke?
Then it’s flatline
You gave me trust
Like a loaded gun
Point it at me
I won’t run (nah)
[Chorus]
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
I’ll trade my freedom, or my breath, or my blood for yours
I love you too much
I love you too much (hey)
You survived fire, now I stand at the door like a sword
If anyone tries, I’m willing to go to jail or a morgue
