Lyrics
tonight somebodies gonna die and it might be you and it might not.
I was running around
and you had the gun.
I gave it to you.
My whole life flashed before my eyes
I just thought about the time my mom came downstairs
after her daddy died, I held her in my arms as she cried
and i thought you're gonna do that to me one day
you better never do that to me.
I peaked my head around the corner
to see if my lover was still there
all i saw was a shadow so i hurried and hid in there
growing up all the mormon girls they're wathcen their words
they never loved themselves as much as they're worth
my lover found me under the table
you said come out with your arms up
I begged you for mercy, i don't want to die not like this
I surrendered to you
You got me right in the chest
i fell over
you reached down to see if i was dead
cause i was barley breathing
even thought we were just make-believing
and then you saw i was bleeding
you shouda seen the look on you face
their wasn't supposed to be bullets in that gun
then i grabbed your hand and lifted up my head
and i said
you know i understand, and i have recieved, and i aknowledge
that there's no guarantees, there is only moments
and this is one of those bad ones
one you wish you won't remember
then you got the last word in
but i didn't hear what you said
it's probably a good thing since you just left me for dead
i'm not mad, you know i never got to thank you, i'm not mad
and everytime I see the scar on my chest I smile and I Think of you.
