lyrics

Your heart moves like a bullet
Ripping through those in its path
So fast

You never had anything in your way till you tried to stun me
Gun me down with your heart

I’m not like the rest, when that bullet hits me
It’s gonna stop, see I wear a heart-proof vest

So don’t treat me like them don’t you love me to shoot me down
With your runaway heart
I’ll only stop it, call the whole thing off
Blow the whistle on your homicidal heart

I’m not like the rest, when that bullet hits me
It’s gonna stop, see I wear a heart-proof vest

So don’t treat me like them don’t you love me to shoot me down
With your Smith & Wesson heart
I’ll only stop it, call the whole thing off
Blow the whistle on your homicidal heart
