Shot you dead

[Verse 1] Midnight oil and cigarette smoke Your words were sharp, a twisted joke I held the match, you brought the fuse A game of hearts we both would lose [Pre-Chorus] You drew first, but I aimed true A silhouette against the blue No turning back, the die is cast This love was never meant to last [Chorus] Bang bang, shot you dead Right through the lies we left unsaid Bang bang, the echo rings A hollow sound that sorrow brings Bang bang, shot you dead Now the silence hangs instead [Drop] (Drop beat) Bang bang, bang bang Bang bang, shot you dead (Drop beat) [Post-Chorus] No more whispers, no more cries Just the smoke that curls and dies Bang bang, shot you dead And the ghost of what we bled [Verse 2] Your photograph is in the grate The flames are dancing, tempting fate I trace the trigger with my thumb A final act, a kingdom come [Pre-Chorus] You played the villain, I the fool A loaded heart, a broken rule I pulled the string, you cut the thread Now watch the pieces fall and spread [Chorus] Bang bang, shot you dead Right through the lies we left unsaid Bang bang, the echo rings A hollow sound that sorrow brings Bang bang, shot you dead Now the silence hangs instead [Drop] (Drop beat) Bang bang, bang bang Bang bang, shot you dead (Drop beat) [Breakdown] (Spoken, over heavy bass) One shot for the promises Two for the pain Three for the love we buried In the rain Four for the memories That still remain Five for the ashes Of your name [Outro] Bang bang... shot you dead The smoke clears slow, the room is red Bang bang... nothing left Just a heart that's cold and deaf Bang bang... shot you dead And I'm the one who's left to dread
