RICOCHET

RICOCHET

You held out your gun,
Aimed for my heart,
You shoot me but you never leave a mark
I never dodged, I never moved
I let the bullets fly past me just to prove
How strong I tried to be
How much I held on to we
Now the only one walking wounded is you

What else can I say
I take your bullets and then ricochet
Around the house, inside the walls
But all you saw was what you wanted to see
All you saw were all the holes in me

You held out your hands,
Then pushed me away,
You thought I’d always stay
I never caved, I never swayed
I let my feelings fall around me just to prove
When you pushed
When you turned it all over and around
I would just stand still and let myself drown

What else can I say
I take your bullets and then ricochet
Around the house, inside the walls
But all you saw was what you wanted to see
All you saw were all the holes in me

Now it’s time to say
I’m gonna let it all out, let it all out
I’m gonna scream and shout
I drop the shells at your feet
So all you can see
Is all the emptiness you filled up in me

What else can I say
I take your bullets and then ricochet
Around the house, inside the walls
But all you saw was what you wanted to see
All you saw were all the holes in me

All you saw were the holes in me.
