[Verse 1]
I missed the mark again tonight
Thought I had it in my hand
All those arrows on the floor
Scattered dreams across this land
Folks just laugh and grab another round
I stare a hole straight through that wall
One red circle in my memory
First time I ever beat you all
[Chorus]
Bullseyes and broken hearts
Funny what can tear you apart
It’s just a game
But it cuts like a scar
Standing at that line
Feeling small in this bar
Losing at darts
Bullseyes and broken hearts
[Verse 2]
I hear my name, somebody calls
"Your turn, man, don’t make us wait"
Hands keep shaking like the lights
Every throw lands wide and late
Ashamed of how I care this much
Over numbers on a board
But I taste copper in my mouth
Like I’m fighting in a war
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I remember that first bullseye
Friends shouting like I’d won the world
You slapped my back, said, "Look at you"
For a second I was more than just that awkward boy
Now I’m counting every miss
Like they’re tallying my soul
[low vocal register] Trying to stay calm, but the truth is
I’m coming clean, I’m losing control
[Chorus]
