I'm like a loaded gun
Why am I the only one
I dream all alone
You never let us soar
How can you say that you're
The wind at my back
If what you say is true
Whoa, how could you live with yourself?
All I can feel is pain
As I spin around the drain
You said we'd be far apart, and to not forget about you
Like I could ever get you out of my head
Your head was a different story
I'm like a loaded gun
Why am I the only one
I dream all alone
You never let us soar
How can you say that you're
The wind at my back
If what you say is true
Whoa, how could you live with yourself?
All I can feel is pain
As I spin around the drain
You said you've been through so much with me
And you don't know how you'd have gone through anything without me
That you love me more than words can express
That honestly if you hadn't met me so early in your life
That we probably would have gotten married
Those words haunt me
I'm like a loaded gun
Why am I the only one
I dream all alone
You never let us soar
How can you say that you're
The wind at my back
If what you say is true
Whoa, how could you live with yourself?
Scattered thoughts, they linger
Dripping sweat right down your face
So question fact or fiction
All eyes are on you now
I'll scream until you crumble
Until you end your lies
If patience is no more
I'll say this one last time
This is your last chance
So make this count
I dream while I lie awake
In spite of the soul you tried to take
But I'm alive
You'll crack before I falter
The truth will set me free
It's not your imagination
The walls are closing in
I collapsed beneath your emotion
But grace gave way to deceit
Patience is no more
There's nowhere left to hide
You're in my sights now
And I'm taking you out
I dream while I lie awake
In spite of the soul you tried to take
But I'm alive
I dream while I lie awake
In spite of the soul you tried to take
But I'm alive
This wolf was not made for a muzzle,
but I’ll wear it for you
and the howls will echo in my stomach
As it turns and I yearn for your love
and nothing else,
Give me your heart and your hand
Let me see those Autumn eyes
Those Autumn eyes
I will wait for you right up until the stars align
Give me a reprieve and promise that we’ll never die
Sing, my desert rose, my star-crossed lover
Paint my face red, do not censor yourself for my sake
Blink, you thrive while I burn to ashes
I can’t walk away, I won’t give up again
Bandages and tourniquets
From trying hard to make it fit
We’re reckless and cannot mix
Secrets pause behind our lips
As they chap and crack and bleed
Refusing to give us what we need
Cheeks will turn we’ll never learn
To mistrust the blackened sky
The blackened sky
Still, I’ll hang and suffocate while I patiently await
Give me a reprieve and promise you won’t let me die
Sing, my desert rose, my star-crossed lover
Paint my face red, do not censor yourself for my sake
Blink, you thrive while I burn to ashes
I can’t walk away, I won’t give up again
Never stop the feeling, no, not at all
I saw the edge but I didn't know I'd fall
I'll defy gravity and rise above your walls
They're not too tall
Sing, my desert rose, my star-crossed lover
Paint my face red, do not censor yourself for my sake
Blink, you thrive while I burn to ashes
I can’t walk away, I won’t give up again
No, I won't lay down
Because you cannot fight for love unless you're standing
Please just take my hand
Blink, you thrive while I burn to ashes
I can’t walk away, I won’t give up again
I won't give up again
I won't give up again
I'm like a loaded gun
Why am I the only one
I dream all alone
You never let us soar
How can you say that you're
