I watched as he walked
Silently across the street
Under dim lights
Head bowed to the ground
I saw him smoke his cigarette
With a shaky hand he put it out
Look at me, look at me!
He lifted his face
Those scars I have grown used to
That smile all but gone
The look of desperation
And the smell of fear
Why are you reaching inside your coat?
What are you doing?
Oh, I know what this is
You’ve come to put me down!
I can see it in your eyes
I can see the guilt
I can see the look of a man trapped
I told you never to make a deal with the devil, didn’t I?
Here we are, are you going to do it?
You told me until the end of time
I guess you meant
Until the end of mine
Say something, you coward!
Say anything at all!
I want to hear the reasons
The reasons I am about to fall
They found out, didn’t they?
Ah, of course
They found out that you loved
A woman stronger than them
It scared them to see
How I could break away
From their world and their lies
From their perfect fantasy
And so, as strong men do
They cut down what shakes them
And they hang it out to dry
For everyone to know, and for everyone to fear
Well, get on with it!
For if you don’t, I will not be silenced
I will break their stories apart
And tear at their hearts
Do it! Stop wasting time!
If you have that gun in your hand
It means you’ve already chosen
You’ve already decided
Guess what? I’m not going to fight it
For if you are to do this
I want you to see
The monster you have become
I will make you hear the screams
The screams of the woman you claim to love
And I will haunt your soul
As you have taken me, so shall I take you
Come on then! Shoot.
It’s about time you raise that gun
Don’t cry, you did this
You created a devil inside and fell for the angel
Just like Romeo and Juliet, we fall
Just like every tragic romance, we crash
Shoot! Kill me, kill our love!
You won’t be able to get rid of that demon now
They have carved in your heart
And torn you apart
Because you know that to live yourself
I must die
And as a coward does, you have come to save you
Shoot! I’m waiting
I will keep screaming till the very end, you’ll see
My last "I LOVE YOU" will haunt you
Now shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
BANG!
