well, you never could believe
this heart strapped to my sleeve,
and I never found the physics of
the take in all your leave.
you stepped out on your doubt
for a life on the run,
with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue.

with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but love was young, and it was dumb.
with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but God, love was dumb when it was young.

there's no tender way to render this, 
but, my God, have I been burned;
the re-kindling of a dwindling fire
a lesson to be learned.
it's just, the tinder to your ember
was a branch I thought you'd spurned. 
well, I guess that's what I get,
but so much less than I have earned. 
with a gun in your heart, 
and a bullet on your tongue. 

with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but love was young, and it was dumb.
with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but God, love was dumb when it was young.

and your heart has such exploding potential,
but your tongue just might kill me. 
this heart is not bullet-proof by any means,
your tongue is what's gonna kill me. 

with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but love was young, and it was dumb.
with a gun in your heart
and a bullet on your tongue;
love was wild, and love was free
but love was dumb when it was young.



the gun in your heart
