Love Like a Loaded Gun

They say love’s supposed to save you. Nobody warned me it could aim back.

I met you where the night don’t talk Just neon buzz and sidewalk chalk You looked at me like you already knew What kind of man I was gonna lose

I had dirt on my name, blood on my hands A future held together with bad plans You didn’t ask, you didn’t run You just stepped closer to the loaded one

Every warning sign was clear But fear don’t live when you’re standing here

Baby, loving you’s like a loaded gun One wrong move and the damage is done But I’d rather bleed than live numb If this is how the fall feels, let it come I don’t need safe, I don’t need clean I need you right where the danger runs Yeah, heaven don’t scare me half as much As loving you like a loaded gun

We’ve slept in cars, we’ve dodged the truth Said “one more mile” like that’s what you do Every scar got a story behind Every silence cuts deeper than lies

When the lights went out and the money dried You never flinched, never changed sides They called me trouble, called you dumb You just smiled slow at the loaded one

You said, “If it ends, it ends standing still” That’s the kind of love that kills you slow or heals

Baby, loving you’s like a loaded gun One wrong word and the war is won But I’ll take the risk, I won’t run If this is how it ends, I’m not done I don’t want easy, I don’t want safe I want truth with a little blood Yeah, I’ve lived my life on borrowed luck But loving you’s a loaded gun

If I go down, don’t pray me clean Just tell ‘em I died believing Some fires burn without a sound Some hearts pull the trigger and don’t look down

Baby, loving you’s like a loaded gun Finger tight ‘til the damage is done But I won’t drop it, I won’t run I’d rather fall than be no one I don’t need mercy, I don’t need grace I need you when the night gets rough Yeah, this world never promised much But loving you’s a loaded gun

If this is how it ends… I’d load it again.
