SMOKING GUN LYRICS

VERSE 1
I don’t deny , I’d been collecting hurts
From little skirmishes for a while
Counting your crimes, on the quiet
Building them up, up, up, up inside
A world of insecurity behind my pretty smile
You never noticed how I was loaded
Before the kill shot tonight

CHORUS
My mouth is a smoking gun
My mouth is a smoking gun
The words are already out
Saw the pain as they hit their mark
Would take them back if I only could
But the damage has been done
And my mouth is a smoking gun
Yeah my mouth is smoking gun

VERSE 2
There was no one at our gate
Only my shadow self lying in wait
So yes it was, an inside job
Knew where to hit to hurt you the most
I never intended to blow away our love
Yet here I stand in the guilt smeared aftermath
With the damage already done

CHORUS
My mouth is a smoking gun
My mouth is a smoking gun
The words are already out
Saw the pain as they hit their mark
Would take them back if I only could
But the damage has been done
And my mouth, my mouth, my mouth, my mouth, my mouth is a smoking gun
Yeah, my mouth is a smoking gun

BRIDGE
There was a time
When our whisper love
Could carry us through to the dawn
We spoke in tongues
Mouths of tenderness
Our soft sighs could do no harm

But now resentment ricochets
Around the angry room
Louder now, it penetrates
And love pumps from the wound
Bleeds out and wastes away
I’m as stunned as you

OUTRO
Oh my love, my love
Oh my love, my love
Oh my love, my love
What have I done

You can’t put the bullet back into the chamber
The damage has been done
And my mouth, my mouth, my mouth, my mouth,
My mouth is a smoking gun
Yeah my mouth, my mouth, my mouth, my mouth
My mouth is a smoking gun
Yeah my mouth is a smoking gun
