[Intro]
I was chaste in the chatroom, talkin' about you
Everybody knows you're the second comin'
Wasted a summer slappin' my face, well
I wanna see you stripped down, naked
I wanna see you stripped down, naked
[Verse 1]
I was fazed in the spotlight, his word against mine
Everybody knows you're the second comin'
Love like a brother, poised as an other
I wanna see you stripped down, naked
I wanna see you stripped down, naked
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you
[Refrain]
A smoking gun equivalent, a measure of proof
As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth
Frozen in a catastrophic cycle to choose
As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth
[Verse 2]
I am trusting, well-adjusted
(A smoking gun equivalent, a measure of proof)
Marked me dormant, I erupted
(As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth)
Every red light, interruption
(Frozen in a catastrophic cycle to choose)
Left for dead but, I
(As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth)
[Refrain]
A smoking gun equivalent, a measure of proof
As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth
Frozen in a catastrophic cycle to choose
As if your heart could stand the bullet if it wasn't the truth
[Bridge]
Every red light, interruption
Left for dead but, I
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you (No)
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no (Ahh)
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you (No)
I'm not gonna take you home
I'm not gonna save you, no (Ahh)
I'm not gonna take you
I'm not gonna save you
[Outro]
I was chaste in the chatroom, talkin' about you
Everybody knows you're the second comin'

I was sexually assaulted by someone that I dated and it took me years to admit it to myself and then sort out my feelings and stop blaming myself for it. Listening to “Chatroom” makes me feel strong. I think of it as a joyful song about removing toxic waste and garbage-people from your life. The bri...
