And I'm stuck on you, but I cant stay here anymore

And baby, you begged me to stay by your side

And you know, you can't hunt with an unloaded gun

Like a voice breaking glass, you break through my skin
Am Em
'Cause when you pull the trigger, you know you won't miss

The white walls they scare me, the blank space on my knees

And I would burn to feel you touching me, I would burn to feel you more
