LYRICS:
You told me I was 18 going on 35
You made me feel like the smartest human alive
I thought I was clever but, were you clever..er
You said you never fell in love like you did with me
You paid for all the hotels
I paid for fake ID’s
To spend the last 10 years
Tryna piece it together

I went to therapy
Religiously
I never sleep
I made my brother promise me he’d let you live
and I guess I could forgive...
But I choose violence
I choose war
For all the little girls
That should be warned

I could choose silence
But what for
You took my innocence
Now I’ll take yours
So I choose violence
And I might die trying

Now you’re prolly her world
And she won’t understand
That all you need is a girl
To feel like a man
Tell your friends she’s a friend
At your hometown dive
But when you were 13
She wasn’t alive
and by the time you were 18
Well, that girl was 5
You had a teaching degree
While she was learning how to drive
And you’ll make her feel safe
Like you made me feel safe
Like oh my god you’re so mature for your age
Except she’s not your age so

So I choose violence
I choose war
For all the little girls
That should be warned

I could choose silence
But what for
You took my innocence
Now I’ll take yours

And you’ll choose hiding
At 44
In your mothers house
And she’ll guard the door
But I’ll choose anger
I’ll choose rage
When I build an army
Of girls half your age
We’ll all choose violence
We’ll all choose war
And every little girl

Will be warned

We won’t choose silence
Not anymore
You took our innocence
Now we’ll take yours
So I choose violence
And I maybe I’ll die trying

    I have never commented on a YouTube video. But I need to comment on this. This song is so powerful. I am 27 years old and I’m still not the age of any of the men I was with before I met my husband. The ones who said I was so mature for being 19. The one who was my TEACHER in high school. Who waited until it was legal to pursue me. The ones who had full careers and lives before I even started mine. Thank you for being our voice.
  • There may come a day when I can listen to this song without bawling my eyes out. But it's not going to be today. 😭😭😭 This is the only song I've ever heard that accurately encapsulated my feeling of being a CSA survivor.
  • THIS ALBUM JUST PROVED JAX DESERVES A SPOT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AT THE SAME LEVEL AS TAYLOR SWIFT, NOT ONYL DOES SHE HAVE THE MOST POWERFUL LYRICS, BUT THESE VOCALS BLOW ME AWAY😊keep making music Jax your really proving that you deserve more
  • i was 4 when it happened. im 51 and i thought id dealth with all my trauma. im sitting here bawling like a baby. jax, i cant say enough how much hope you give me for our girls and young women. never stop... speak up, you have given me a fire back that i hadnt felt for a long time.
  • This song is a war cry for what’s going on in our world right now. Jax I can’t thank you enough for this song. You have no idea how many warriors you will touch in this battle.
  • Jax is a warrior, her weapon is music and her victories are felt in all of her fans' hearts
  • @WendyWinchester
    I relate to this SO much! I'm a CSA survivor. It was my bio dad... and I was 5. Every time someone says I should forgive him I wanna scream. Thank you for this song!
  • The song my 14 year old self needed. Thanks Jax. We heal through your music. So much respect and love to you, my darling. Keep making us the warrior anthems we need. 💖🕯
  • As someone who was groomed online at 13 this song has me sobbing. Thank you for being brave enough to release such a vulnerable piece of art. Wishing you healing and justice.
  • Thank you for giving a voice to so many who live with this trauma. And for the record, it's not just little girls who need to be warned.
  • @kalopsia462
    I am almost 35 and it still follows me. i was only 14. Thank you for this
  • @JENWAHDYAMEAN
    The comments show exactly why we needed this, Jax 😭😭😭🤍🤍🤍
  • @gean4890
    😭 there was a beautifully painful message behind those rhythmic words of melody. I hear you. I feel you. I know you. 🫰
  • Someday maybe I'll forgive myself for what he did to me. Thank you for the song screaming I choose war is very cathartic.
  • "You took my innocence now I'll take yours" might be the most beautiful live ever heard because I should have taken his before time passed and I lost the opportunity to have a believable case.

    I can’t help but cry when I hear this song, I was 13 years old when I had an assistance gym teacher touch me inappropriately multiple times. And I when reported I was blamed. Soon after I reported him, he was “let go” or went back to college. I can’t remember anymore. As soon as the storm started to fade, my other male gym teacher walked in on a bunch of us girls getting changed and stood there for 10-15 minutes staring at us. We told and the school gaslit us all so hard. I was also the goat. I was blamed for convincing them to report a false report. I sometimes dream of what my life had been like had it not gone off the rails as it did. Now I tell my story and I teach my daughter to shout from the rooftops. I am teaching my daughter to fight back when your being told your wrong and gas lit. Thank you Jax! This song is soo needed it!

    I'm still silent. My story doesn't seem as big as everyone else's. But the small thing that happened left its mark, and it's been on my mind a lot lately, even though it happened well over 20 years ago. I'm a victim who never knew she was a victim until she became an adult. This song hits deep and brings forward so many emotions.
  • @ML-di8lt
    He was 45. I was 18. When I wanted to leave, he told everyone and blamed me for ruining his marriage to a wife that lived on the other side of the country. I was stalked, harassed, attacked, and spit on in the streets for over a year. I'm genuinely surprised I survived it. I didnt think I would.
  • I’m so messed up from my past. I was 17 he was 37. He was with a 16 and 15 year old before me. We have children together now and been married 24 years but I’m still so, so messed up from it all. I married someone I never loved. I was groomed. All I wanted a father. I’m so glad you’re speaking out about this, your song is spot on.

    I comment on this because I want this to go viral. It deserves it.
