Only one gunshot away
From killing the one who hurts you most
You feel like you must make them pay
So just kill them, right there, on the coast
They've fed you pain in disguise,
And it only made you hurt
Something you wouldn't advise
And It went into your heart, right through your shirt
One gunshot away
That's all it is
And no one can do or say
Anything that will make you think they'll be missed
So as you hold the gun up to your head
You pull the trigger yet nothing comes out
As you sit there lying on your bed
You begin to scream and shout
"I wanted to die I wanted to bleed"
"Because all I wanted was to get away from me"
