Story Behind The Song

i thought about re-writing the chorus to be: 'bullet in my heart, you don't want to get me started, pieces of my brain on the bottle of your aftershave, poor landlady what a mess in this apartment, won't you call me baby, blow the pain into a million pieces...." or something like that.

Lyrics

VERSE 1

why does time go slower
just because you don't call anymore
sometimes i can't remember
what i'm here for

why do i go lonely
so many guys that i still refuse
cuz i don't want anyone
if i can't have you


CHORUS

and i just might die...
i just might die
if can't be with you
i just might die
if i can't be with you tonight
if i can't be with you

bullet in my heart
take away this misery
bullet in my brain
blow the pain into a million pieces


VERSE 2

there's a shadow in the mirror
she's always trippin' on the things you said
programming horrors on the tv set
in my head

i'm feeling like a black widow
or a poisoned Juliet
sometimes i wonder if i'm better off dead


CHORUS

cuz i just might die
if i can't be with you tonight
if i can't be with you

bullet in my heart
take away this misery
bullet in my brain
blow the pain into a million pieces


VERSE 3

there's a dog grinnin' at the end of the bed
he keeps chewin' on my head
tryin to say you never loved me

i try not to care
i just wish that you were there
i wish you come and kick him off
and then kiss me softly


BRIDGE

hey
where are you now
where are you now
where are you now
i'm down and out
and you're never around

waves
crashin around
pulling me down
and you're never around

hey where are you now
underneath the bright blue
falling sky


i just might die if i can't be with you tonight
i just might die if i can't
i just might die if i can't be with you tonight
i just might die if i can't be with you


CHORUS

bullet in my brain
blow the pain into a million pieces
bullet in my heart
take away, take away this darkness
