I'm tired of taking bullets for you
what?
I'm tired of it
what are you talking about
come on, just come on
we have to get going
you think I'm going to fall for this again
I said I'm tired of taking bullets for you
It didn't mean anything
you know I love you babe
everybody's waiting in the car
let's go
I don't want to go
I'm hungry
there will be food there, darling
I love you
let's go
I just want you to give me something
give me something that's not a pain in my chest
give me warmth or thrill or a trophy
because I've been chasin' for so long
been runnin' from bullets for so long
and my knees are all scraped up
got shin splints real bad
because this whole time
I thought I was saving you
I thought I was taking those bullets for you
that's why I kept getting back up
the doctor always thinks it's a miracle
i recover so fast
but it's because i got places to be
lovers to save
bullets to take
but baby you bought those bullets
hell, you bought the gun
you loaded it
you're the bad guy
it was you firing all along
and I'm just so tired of taking bullets for you
this hit me. wow. like damn. thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou bought the bullets, you bought the gun, you loaded it.
It was you firing all along.

ReplyDeleteThis was different. A dialogue. A back and forth. It was gangster and 1940 and love song and violence and high school.
You're too good.
