lyrics

I got him the way that i knew
I had to take him out
I shot him the way that I do
God theres no way out

Looking back now I see
Looking back now I see

See I shot him right there, no turning back
He locked in, lightly, a horse on the track
As he stood there, easy, within my grasp
Every kiss lead him closer to attack

A sweet love, breezy, until the day that I
Call out, needy, looking for comfort I
Tried to face the issues getting bigger
But instead I, instead I pulled the trigger
I pulled the trigger

Welcomed to the kingdom of the man
Who reached out with a sweet and loving hand
He offered and invited me to stay
But the one thing that I need he’d turn away

If i shut down everything inside my head
You’d be unwounded but it’s me who’d end up dead
Not sure i’d drown you in affections like like i do
If i cut them out the bad will take the good

Should I value this as your life verses mine?
Or am I guilty of a very different crime?
I only wish that you would want for me what I want for you
and
I’ve told you too

I got him the way that I knew
I had to take him out
I shot him the way that I do
God theres no way out

Looking back now I see
Looking back now I see


I’m approaching the stage that I dreaded to face, the climax of it all
Not one easier way than to stand here and say that it’s me who caused the fall
I got him right from the start, a 45 disguised as my heart
An empty casing is all thats left of me
Dispatched my soul out on that same trajectory
Regardless of whats grown on this
I took that life away

I took the life away

See I shot him, right there, no turning back
He locked in, tightly, a horse on the track
As he stood there, easy, within my grasp
Every kiss lead him closer to attack

A sweet love, breezy, until the day that I
Call out, needy, looking for comfort
I tried to stop these issues getting bigger
But instead I, Instead I pulled
I pulled the trigger
