I learned to be tough growing up in between
Mama's addiction to dad getting clean
Bound and determined to find something more
But drug down by baggage I bring to the door
The heart that's on this sleeve's a loaded gun
The safety's off this will and won't give up
My love for you's a long shot
And there's damage in these bullets
So I can't promise you where they'll go
My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it
But before I do, I've gotta let you know
I got the short end of a double barrel
I can't pick my brush but I'll learn how to paint
With the colors you're bringing to my shades of gray
You can show me where to aim but I'm still bound to miss
But for better or for worse, I don't know how to quit
My love for you's a long shot
And there's damage in these bullets
So I can't promise you where they'll go
My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it
But before I do, I've gotta let you know
Got the short end of a double barrel
The heart that's on this sleeve's a loaded gun
The safety's off this will and won't give up
My love for you's a long shot
And there's damage in these bullets
So I can't promise you where they'll go
My finger's on the trigger and I ain't afraid to pull it
But before I do, I've gotta let you know
Got the short end of a double barrel
