Yeah
I didn't mean to pull the trigger, I swear
But now she's dead and there ain't no coming back once you there
I hope she knew that I loved her, I hope she knew that I cared
Your food getting cold, why don't you come sit down in this chair?
We can talk about all the things we should have done
All the arguments that you probably would have won
But I'm stubborn, baby, you knew that
When you told me you loved me, and I told you I loved you back
But now you're laying on the tile, I'm waiting for a smile
So, I'll stay here for a while, when the cops come in
They're gonna have to take me away
And I tell 'em, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it
I guess I'm just emotional and maybe kinda stupid
I just wanna hold you close
So, why'd I have to give you away?"
I tell 'em, "I'm sorry, I'm not a bad person
I couldn't take your pain away, I guess I'm undeserving
But if I can't have you to myself, then you're gone"
I didn't mean to pull the trigger, I swear
Life full of surprises, but that shit isn't fair
Tell me how we live is different, guess this shit kinda rare
Your food getting cold, why don't you come sit down in this chair?
We can talk about everything you hate on this earth
And that you're getting tired 'cause you're making it work
But can I kiss you just one more time?
Baby, let me close your eyes, feel your lips touching mine
I'm sure I've never seen you look more heavenly
Now I'm rubbing on your back, whispering, "Rest in peace"
It's okay, baby, go to sleep
I'll keep you safe, you're alone with me
Say I wouldn't hurt you, I lied
I don't deserve you, I tried
So, I'ma stay by your side
But when the cops come in
They're gonna have to take me away
And I tell 'em, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it
I guess I'm just emotional and maybe kinda stupid"
I just wanna hold you close
So, why'd I have to give you away?
I tell 'em, "I'm sorry, I'm not a bad person"
I couldn't take your pain away, I guess I'm undeserving
But if I can't have you to myself, then you're gone
