about

Sad, sombre number about a hit-and-run unrequited love.

lyrics

You came in hot, you came in fast,
Put up my fences, you blew right past,
Left me reelin,
On the blood-stained ground;

Thought I was ready for anything,
Then a girl like you with an angel's wings,
And a gun in her hand,
Came round to shoot me down;

I open my eyes, look down and see
A bullet-shaped hole where my heart should be;
You were quick on the draw,
Quicker to forget me;
I'm out of time and tears to waste on you
The wound you left is just a through-and-through
Wish I'd known better, wish I'd let you be;
Now I've got a bullet-shaped hole
Where my heart should be;

Drew ya pretty little pictures, sang my songs,
Held your gaze, for about as long
As it takes I guess
To blink the dust from your eye;

Now I grind my teeth, stitch my wounds,
Hands and chest both stained maroon,
This blood's on your hands,
Bet you don't even know why;

I open my eyes, look down and see
A bullet-shaped hole where my heart should be;
You were quick on the draw,
Quicker to forget me;
I'm out of time and tears to waste on you
The wound you left is just a through-and-through
Wish I'd known better, wish I'd let you be;
Now I've got a bullet-shaped hole
Lord bless my little soul
'Cause now there's a bullet-shaped hole
Where my heart should be
