A Girl Is A Gun

Pity you didn’t stay away

Shame you came and didn’t stay

Pain, a boomerang, it goes both ways

You’re gonna have to learn today

 

I told you to run

Away from the sun

 

Pity you had to lose it all

Shame no one picked up your call

Painful desire to drop the ball

You’re gonna have to take the fall

 

I told you to run

I’m not the one

 

Pity you didn’t fear the flames

Shame you hadn’t learned my name

Paintings of every life I’ve claimed

You’re gonna have to lose this game

 

I told you to run

A girl is a gun
