Intro:

Come on take me down
Once it's lost you know we won't ever have it back
And there was nothing I could do to change the facts
You know I tried, you know I tried
I threw you all I have
I should have known It never falls just where you plan
And there are rules I was not meant to understand
I should have known, I should known
Understand I should have known, I should have known
And so I'm giving you the gun
Put your finger on the trigger
I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
You were the one
Who could blind me with the mirror
And I can't see
And I don't need this no more
You put your love upon the cross
You know you sealed it in the darkness all along
Did you think that I could roll away the stone
I'm just a child, I'm just a child
You know I tried, I'm just a child, I'm just a child
And so I'm giving you the gun
Put your finger on the trigger
I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
You were the one
Who could break me with the whisper
And I'm broken
And I won't take your time no more
Mother make my bed
A lady shot me and she's left me here to die
Sit beside me now and promise You won't cry
when I am gone, when I am gone
You won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone
Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone
Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone
I've put the original lyrics here, but he's changed the lyrics lately. This is the
alternative version.
Alternative lyrics:
Come on take me out
When I am gone you know I'm never coming back
And now there's nothing I could do to change the facts,
You know I tried
You know I tried
I threw you all I had
From the night we spent down Congress Avenue
I should've known that I was never there with you
I should've known
I should've known
Oh with you
I should've known
I should've known
So I'm giving you the gun, put your finger to the trigger
Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming
You were the one who could blind me with a mirror
And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more
And I would've worn your cross
But you sealed it in the darkness all alone
Did you think that I could roll away the stone
I'm just a child
I'm just a child
You know I tried
I'm just a child
I'm just a child
So I've given you the gun put your finger to the trigger
Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming
You were the one who could blind me with the mirror
And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more
Sister, make my bed, if I'm shot
You know I'd hold your hand to die
Sit beside me now and promise you won't cry
When I am gone
When I am gone
Now you won't cry
When I am gone
When I am gone
Now you won't cry
When I am gone
And I am gone
