## Lyrics

I can see that your mind is made up

After all the energy I take up

I fear now that nothing can save us cause both of us neither one of us is the same us

See I don’t even blame you for the where

What, when, how, now it’s all pointless to care

And I know

I treated you badly

But hardly a reason to let your madness mandate your

Thoughts and actions

Just take a second and you’ll see

*(I’m the man that you thought I was)*

There is no place that I’d rather be than

*(In your arms with all this behind us)*

So please put the gun down angel

We can both find peace of mind and

If you just give me one more chance I swear on everything it will be different this time

*(When I was a young man my father told me)*

*(Hold everything that you love closely)*

*(Don’t let it slip through)*

*(When I said I loved you I thought that you did too)*

And now I’m sorry for what I did

Can’t you find it in your heart just to forgive

Can’t you remember a little piece of what we had

Cause if you pull the trigger , sweetie, there’s no turning back

*(Save me)*

*(My baby’s got a bullet with my name)*

*(She wants to put it inside my brain)*

*(I fucked things up, isn’t that enough)*

*(What can I say)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in please)*

I never said that I was innocent so isn’t it

Typical that of course a compulsive sinner would sin again

The two of us like a courtroom with it’s litigants pinned against

One another convinced the other shouldn’t win against

So I guess in a sense

I’ll end up the victim

Why do my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears and

I’m so sorry for the hurt that I caused you

The kind of darkness that grows over the gears and

I can see that it’s consumed the whole of you

*(There’s nothing left of the you I thought I knew)*

Oh darling I can still feel a soul in you

*(Should have said goodbye and just let go of you)*

But I didn’t

I tried to hold on

Where on Earth did we both go so wrong

The same song repeats itself all day long

So until then, so long

*(When I was a young man my mother told me)*

*(Hold everything that you love closely)*

*(Don’t let it slip through)*

*(You just have to hang on even if it kills you)*

So if this is my final goodbye I

Want you to know that I honestly tried I

Tell you I love you one last time

You couldn’t save me but I’ll still see you on the other side

*(Save me)*

*(My baby’s got a bullet with my name)*

*(She wants to put it inside my brain)*

*(I fucked things up, isn’t that enough)*

*(What can I say)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in please)*

There’s nothing left of the you I thought I knew

When I said I loved you I thought that you did too

*(Save me)*

*(Save me)*

*(My baby’s got a bullet with my name)*

*(She wants to put it inside my brain)*

*(I fucked things up, isn’t that enough)*

*(What can I say)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in)*

*(My baby’s got a bullet with my name)*

*(She wants to put it inside my brain)*

*(I fucked things up, isn’t that enough)*

*(What can I say)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t give you everything)*

*(I’m sorry couldn’t, I’m sorry as in)*
