ive got a gun in my hand but that gun wont cock
My fingers on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
I cant stop staring at the tick tock clock
And even if i could i would never give up
With a vest on my chest
A bullet in my lung
I cant believe im dying with my song unsung
And if and when i die wont you bury me alone?
Because ill never get to heaven if im singing this song
If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong?
Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along?
Id like to think i would
You know id like to think i would
But i guarantee that what you see is not reality
And every time she makes a point i make a counterpoint
She said its easy but in the end youll have no choice
And you know thats only just the way it goes
You said it right man
That is just the way it goes
And the days
And the days they seem like forever
And the days
And the days they seem like forever
But forever isnt ever enough
Id like to sing a song promise you wont be long
Ill try not to be long but i dont want to get this story wrong
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
Dont even bother cause im tired and im sick of it
And every time she makes a point ill make a counterpoint
She said its easy but in the end youll have no choice
And you know thats only just the way it goes
You said it right man
That is just the way it goes
Ive got a gun in my hand but that gun wont cock
And my fingers on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And i cant stop staring at the tick tock clock
And even if i could i would never give up
With a vest on my chest and a bullet in my lung
I cant believe im dying with my song unsung
And if and when i die wont you bury me alone?
Because ill never get to heaven if im singing this song
Oh
You dont know where ive been
Oh
You dont know what ive seen
If i did something right
Would you give up this fight?
Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right
Id like to think you would
You know id like to think you would
But i cant guarantee that what you get is an apology
Jump back to the day we met i never
Thought that it would end this way if ever
I let you down i want to ask of you
To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
And the days
And the days they seem like forever
And the days
And the days they seem like forever
But forever isnt ever enough
Id like to sing a song promise you wont be long
Ill try not to be long but i dont want to get this story wrong
There was a chick who never cared about the little things
Dont bother cause i still dont give a shit
And every time she makes a point ill make a counterpoint
She said its easy but in the end youll have no choice
And you know thats only just the way it goes
You said it right man
That is just the way it goes
Ive got a gun in my hand but that gun wont cock
My fingers on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And i cant stop staring at the tick tock clock
And even if i could i would never give up
With a vest on my chest and a bullet in my lung
I cant believe im dying with my song unsung
So if and when i die wont you bury me alone?
Because ill never get to heaven if im singing this song
Oh
You dont know where ive been
Oh
You dont know what ive seen
So tell me friend hows it going to end?
When the shit goes down
And theres no one left around to get your back
Youll crack
Youll smile and agree with everything they say
Theyll try to tell you that its all okay
But its not and youre shot and youre bleeding pretty bad
And you cant stop thinking about the things you never had
Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did
Youre running around
Youre living a life thats empty in the end
My friend
No
Youll take back all youve said
Oh
When the regrets fill your head
Trust me ive been there before
I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy
What irony
Once friends
But i find youll have to learn this lesson on your own
So i waited by the phone but that phone never rang
And i sang so loud so i wouldnt hear the bang
When the bang never came
And i never got the call fuck it! thank you! i love you all!
Some are going to say that were doomed to repeat
All our past mistakes
Great
But thats not me
And even if it was i would always disagree
Because in the end i always get the better of me
Ive got a gun in my hand but that gun wont cock
My fingers on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And i cant stop staring at the tick tock clock
And even if i could i would never give up
With a vest on my chest and a bullet in my lung
I cant believe im dying with my song unsung
So if and when i die wont you bury me alone?
Because ill never get to heaven if im singing this song
Oh
Ill take you where ive been
Oh
Ill show you what ive seen
