The Gun
I never thought I would feel this way
 Even when you’d said you'd leave me someday
 Guess I never knew quite what to say
 And now my heart is breaking but hey
 I always thought I wasn’t worth much
 I was never worthy of your trust
 Never worthy of your soft touch
 Guess I just needed a love crutch
 
 And now I’m lying here tonight
 Looking up at the starlight
 Wishing I had put up a fight
 Cause maybe then I might
 
 I might still have you
 I might still hold you in my arms
 I might still call you
 I might still keep you safe from harm
 Little did I know
 That I was gonna’ be the one
 Wanted to save you
 But I was the one behind the gun
 
 I never thought I’d hurt this bad
 I never thought I’d be this sad
 I never thought I’d be a passing fad
 Never thought I’d lose everything I had
 Now I’m alone in this place
 Just another losing, no name face
 Not worthy of you anyway
 No way no how in any case
 
 And now I’m lying here tonight
 Looking up at the starlight
 Wishing I had put up a fight
 Cause maybe then I might
 
 I might still have you
 I might still hold you in my arms
 I might still call you
 I might still keep you safe from harm
 Little did I know
 That I was gonna’ be the one
 Wanted to save you
 But I was the one behind the gun
 
 I refuse to just lie here tonight
 Looking up at the starlight
 I am ready to put up a fight
 Cause maybe then I might
 
 I might still have you
 I might still hold you in my arms
 I might still call you
 I might still keep you safe from harm
 Little did I know
 That you were gonna’ be the one
 Wanted to save me
 Stepped up and took away the gun
