Bullets
(Eric Friedmann)

She went home today
Maybe someday she'll call
And he won't have a lot to say
Except "I can't live without you at all."

He took bullets for her
The one with his name on it missed
One cold day she was gone
Some knots aren't meant to untwist

She left a mess behind
Crying in a chair with a bottle close by
Did they say all they had to say
She did the damn dishes and said goodbye

He said "If my love aint good enough for you
It's the end of the world"

She went to sleep tonight
Wondering why she'd done what she'd done
Guess she did what she had to do
Ran into a wall while looking at the sun

He said "If my love ain't good enough for you
Than you're aiming to high."

Love's wound is purple somebody said
Good or bad forever on your head
Show me a man with a half-empty bed
And I'll show you amethyst instead

She left wreckage behind
A burning bridge and a man on fire
She can't plead innocent
Because a killer like her can't help but want to lie

He said "If my love just aint the kind of one,
It's the end of my world."
