Gun Shy
Feeling full for a little bit
I close my eyes and I'm sick of it
It's not that I'm old, It's not that I'm cold
Im finding my way, alone
The lives I take, are never for my own
The lies I break, are always close to home
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
I hear it call in the end of night,
It holds me trapped inside my mind,
But I'm already gone, and I can't wake up
I've lost my way home
The lives I take, are always for my own
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
Tell me your reasons
Show me the lie
I'll tell you I'm sorry
Show me the line
I'm hell on a highway
I'll make amends
Throw me a lifeline
I'm sinking again
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
I was asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
I close my eyes and I'm sick of it
It's not that I'm old, It's not that I'm cold
Im finding my way, alone
The lives I take, are never for my own
The lies I break, are always close to home
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
I hear it call in the end of night,
It holds me trapped inside my mind,
But I'm already gone, and I can't wake up
I've lost my way home
The lives I take, are always for my own
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
Tell me your reasons
Show me the lie
I'll tell you I'm sorry
Show me the line
I'm hell on a highway
I'll make amends
Throw me a lifeline
I'm sinking again
I couldn't clear the rain
Washing out my eyes
Driving me insane
Im asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
I was asking myself why
I was holding on too tight
To a life I'd left behind
My mind won't let me lie
And this gun don't know I'm shy
This gun don't know I'm shy
