Once Upon a Time I Was Falling in Love...Now I'm Only Falling Apart...
Trigger Finger
I was locked in the grips of memories
With my eyes blinded by the sun
Gently I heard distant whispers on this journey
Telling me to put down the gun
I thought it impossible to turn my back
Long ago I would've been on my way
And like a child afraid of desolation
Here is where I make my bed and lay
If I could believe my name has crossed your lips
There would be no reason for me to cross your heart
I'm playing the game of dumbing down love
Stuck in the crossfire of where you end and I start
I see myself walking the same dirt path anyway
Knowing I'm getting tired and sore
So afraid of the freedom that the battle brings
Yet tired of never coming home from the war...
You've got me right on most things, but don't get me wrong, I understand.
