Gun In My Hand

Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
In my bed, in my head, in my hand
Was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge?
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
[Verse 2]
Why did love put a knife in my heart?
Why did love open up my scars?
Why did love put a knife in my heart?
In my bed, in my head, in my heart
Was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge?
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love, why did love
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
(Why did love, why did love, why did love)
Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love)
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Whoa in my hand
Oh, was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge? (Who-oa)
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Ooh, in my hand
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?

Flawless

You said you loved me but you threw me out in the garbage
Now I’m starting to stink but everyone thinks I’m flawless
Listen to me, I can’t be what you want me to
I just came like this, I’m already black and blue
You said you loved me but you put my shit on the sidewalk
You like it when I fall and you laugh when I run into a wall
You gave nothing, I put my heart out on the table
I wasn’t always willing but baby I was always able, yeah
I’m slipping into some kinda feeling
Got me believing
I’m coming out of all of the darkness
Now that I’m flawless
You said I was the one but you married someone half your age
She’s a groupie ex-girlfriend with a plastic face
And you said you’d never go back to an old flame
Well it’s gonna make you sick when everybody hears my pain
Yeah, yeah, oh
I’m slipping into some kinda feeling
Got me believing, baby
I’m coming out of all of the darkness
Now that I’m flawless
Now that I’m
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it, yeah?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it, yeah?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it, yeah?
Can you feel it?
Baby, can you feel it, yeah?
I’m slipping into some kinda feeling
Got me believing, baby, yeah
I’m coming out of all of the darkness
Now that I’m flawless
Now that I’m
Can you feel it baby?
Now that I’m
Oh can you feel it baby?
Can you feel it, yeah?
Can you feel it, yeah?
Can you feel it?
Oh, now that I’m flawless
