Come on take me down
Once it’s lost you know we won’t ever have it back
And there was nothing I could do to change the facts
You know I tried, you know I tried

I threw you all I have
I should have known
It never falls just where you plan
And there are rules I was not meant to understand
I should have known, I should known
Understand I should have known, I should have known

And so I’m giving you the gun
Put your finger on the trigger
I’ve known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
You were the one
Who could blind me with the mirror
And I can’t see
And I don’t need this no more

You put your love upon the cross
You know you sealed it in the darkness all along
Did you think that I could roll away the stone
I’m just a child, I’m just a child
You know I tried, I’m just a child, I’m just a child

So I’m giving you the gun
Put your finger on the trigger
I’ve known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
You were the one
Who could break me with the whisper
And I’m broken
And I won’t take your time no more

Mother make my bed
A lady shot me and she’s left me here to die
Sit beside me now and promise
You won’t cry when I am gone, when I am gone
You won’t cry when I am gone, when I am gone
Now you won’t cry when I am gone, when I am gone
Now you won’t cry when I am gone, when I am gone
