Stray Bullets

(álbum: The City Introvert - 2021)

I can see that your mind is made up
After all the energy I'd take up
I fear now that nothing can save us
'Cause both of us, neither one of us it's 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'll be different this time and

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
Uh, 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, isn't
(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 the 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 years 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've 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, isn't
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, isn't

(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, isn't)
