Verse 1
She smelled like smoke and bad decisions
Cherry wine and false religion
Cut-off shorts, sin on her skin
Said she was hurting — I let her in
She leaned in close, said “boy don’t run”
Didn’t know I was kissing a loaded gun
Pre-Chorus
I was thinking salvation
She was thinking extraction
Chorus
Lipstick on a loaded gun
Pretty till the damage’s done
Sweet talk wrapped around a lie
She don’t love — she survives
Cold hands in a velvet glove
Took my trust, called it love
Yeah she rode me slow then she stole my sun
Lipstick on a loaded gun
Verse 2
She liked my cash, liked my keys
Liked telling me I was “everything she needs”
Played broke like a well-worn tune
Every damn crisis landed on me by noon
I drank her pain like cheap whiskey
She drank my wallet dry and called me risky
Pre-Chorus
I called it loyalty, called it heart
Truth is — she was just playing her part
Chorus
Lipstick on a loaded gun
Pretty till the damage’s done
Soft words, sharp intent
Every kiss was counterfeit
Halo cracked, horns beneath
Sugar on her tongue, razor teeth
Yeah I went down hard for the way she spun
Lipstick on a loaded gun
Bridge (slow, nasty groove)
Found the devil in a sundress
Bible words, barroom mess
She don’t fall in love, she hunts
Leaves men broke, bruised, and blunt
She ain’t evil — she’s efficient
Heartless, hungry, damn convincing
Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)
Ain’t mad…
Just wiser.
Final Chorus
Lipstick on a loaded gun
She smiles while she pulls the one
Beauty don’t mean mercy, son
Some angels come to ruin you for fun
She still shining under neon lights
Still selling dreams on Friday nights
But I won’t bleed for another one
I survived
Lipstick on a loaded gun
Outro
Yeah…
Some women leave scars
Some leave lessons
She damn near left a body
