Hey Violet - Aftertaste Lyrics

Keep my eyes low
And smile when I'm told
And yeah, I'm gonna jump when they say so

Could paint me as a whore
Define me to the core
I take up too much space and I want more

I'm pretty with my mouth shut
Pretty when I'm so in love
And pretty, what a pity that this girl just won't shut up

I'm left with the aftertaste
When they try to swallow me whole
It's written all on their face
That if they could, then they'd tear me down to the bone
And I know
How it goes
This the life I live, not the life I chose
Try to wash away
When I'm left with that bad aftertaste, ohh-oh

I'm acid on the tongue
I'm innocent and young
And god for-f*cking-bid I let you get some

I'll never be as sweet
An easy love to leave
Got you choking on the thorns of a bad dream

I'm pretty with my mouth shut
Pretty when I'm so in love, ah-ahh
So pretty when I'm not intimidating all your sons, oh

I'm left with the aftertaste
When they try to swallow me whole
It's written all on their face
That if they could, then they'd tear me down to the bone
And I know
How it goes
This the life I live, not the life I chose
Try to wash away
When I'm left with that bad aftertaste, ohh-oh

I give you what you want
But it never is quite enough
You try to hold me down
But you're carving out my taste for blood

I'm left with the aftertaste
When they try to swallow me whole
It's written all on their face
That if they could, then they'd tear me down to the bone
And I know (and I know)
How it goes (how it goes)
This the life I live, not the life I chose
Try to wash away
When I'm left with that bad aftertaste, ohh-oh
