Story Behind The Song
The song is about a relationship where each party is no longer good for the other. Through constant fighting and arguments the relationship has taken an emotional toll that they have lived with for so long until one day, someone has the courage to walk away knowing that this type of relationship isn't acceptable.
As one person walks away, the other realises exactly what they have lost and falls apart.

Lyrics
How did we get this far
How did we not recognise
all those unreachable miles
all that's between us now
is the laughing of this clown
not enough words
too many fights
Chorus
Take your aim, pull the trigger
fire and watch me fall
see the tears roll down my face
but know this ain't my curtain call
know that this won't last, I will rise again
pull the bullet from my heart
watch me turn my back as you
Shatter like glass
Silent days and dreamless nights
Shadows fall around us now
Live with no hope for tomorrow
Look through each others souls
searching for the answers now
rising anger makes us lose control
Chorus
Take your aim, pull the trigger
fire and watch me fall
see the tears roll down my face
but know this ain't my curtain call
know that this won't last, I will rise again
pull the bullet from my heart
watch me turn my back, you know I will
watch me turn my back as you
Shatter like glass
Shatter Like glass
