Woorden: Clare Maguire. Light After Dark. Bullet.

I was told that loneliness was like spaces between the stars
Well, it's empty between these starry eyes
I was told a dead man was heavier than a broken heart
Am I dead now? My heart sure feels heavy

And I try not to feel it
Yeah, I try not to feel it
So hard to believe it

I was told that time tiptoes by
Well, I can hear his footsteps running past me
I was told I had a face with nothing to fear
That's not the first thing to scare me

And I try not to feel it
Yeah, I try not to feel it
It's so hard to believe it

But at the end of it all it's true
You shot this bullet through my bones
You shot this bullet through my bones

You shot me down, down, down I go
You shot me down, down, down I go

I get up and take the phone from my hands
The glass from my lips, the pictures from my fingertips
I stand up, I walk round and round and I don't hear no sound
Only the words that you spoke to me

And I try not to feel it
Yeah, I try not to feel it
It's so hard to believe it

But at the end of it all, it's true
You shot this bullet through my bones
You shot this bullet through my bones

You shot me down, down, down I go
You shot me down, down, down I go
You shot me down, down, down I go
You shot me down, down, down I go
