lyrics

I heard a gunshot outside my window
I thought I loved you but now I don’t know
I thought my words had all dried out
I heard a gunshot and pictured your mouth

And the way you can say anything
And make it feel like a kiss or a wound
Time will keep me restless and wandering
But it’ll get the best of you

I heard the stories, my eyes were open
I thought you were god but I stopped hoping
You stole the things I could never say
I heard the stories but worshipped anyway

And I hope one day the tide starts turning
I hope you’re punished for all you did
Time will make martyrs of the deserving
And I hope it shares everything you hid

I heard a gunshot outside my window
I thought I loved you, but now I don’t know
I thought my words had all dried out
I heard a gunshot but pictured your mouth
I heard a gunshot but pictured your mouth
