[Verse 1]
The surface of the water is serene
But what goes on below?
Hungry current s**ing at your feet
It won't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Tossed 'til we capsized
Battered and brused
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
Blue to purify
Drowning in my body, mind, and thoughts
My mouth is dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Tossed 'til we capsized
Battered and brused
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
