gun accidents with children
I'm sitting here alone
an album on my knees
twenty years have gone by
flipping through the photos
I see a memory of a girl
she had the cutest smile
in the world
(Interlude)
the weather was cold
so we played inside
we both were laughing
when I close my eyes
I see the smile on her face
and the bloody red floor
an empty stare
we've been torn apart
and there's no restart
I'll remember your face
'till the end of my days
we've been torn apart
and there's no restart
I wasn't to blame
is what they keep saying
at the age of five
they gave me a gun
I took it for a game
Mum heard the shot
and ran into the room
she saw her two-year-old
dying
I've been torn apart
and there's no restart
I'll remember your face
'till the end of my days
I've been torn apart
and there's no restart
I wasn't to blame
is what they keep saying
I remember her laughter
I remember her laughter
and remember her after
dying in a pool of blood
(Chorus)
I'm sitting here alone
a gun in my hand
there's no tomorrow
