Smoking Gun

[Verse 1]
You came in like a car crash
Glass in my teeth
Taste of blood
You said you were my last chance
Dragged me face-first through the mud
Your kiss feels like cold steel
Pressed right under my tongue
Every word is a backhand
Every touch a loaded one
[Chorus]
You’re my smoking gun
Finger shaking on the trigger
Heart up against the barrel
Pressure pulling bigger
Bigger
It’s a gun to my head
And I’m begging you to run
But you just smile and aim again
You’re my smoking gun
[Verse 2]
You love me like a hostage
Tape over my screaming lungs
You carve your name in my ribs
Call it art when the damage is done
I keep handing you bullets
You keep lining them up
Every promise is poison
Every “sorry” gets me drunk
[Chorus]
You’re my smoking gun
Finger shaking on the trigger
Heart up against the barrel
Pressure pulling bigger
Bigger
It’s a gun to my head
And I’m begging you to run
But you just smile and aim again
You’re my smoking gun
[Bridge]
Go on
Chamber one more lie
(Do it, do it)
Say you’ll stay
Then watch me die
Pull it slow so I can see
You’d rather kill than set me free
Am I addicted to the burn?
Or just afraid of what I’ll learn
When this bullet finally lands in me?
[Chorus]
You’re my smoking gun
Finger shaking on the trigger
Heart up against the barrel
Pressure pulling bigger
Bigger
It’s a gun to my head
Still I’m praying you’re the one
But you just laugh and count to three
You’re my smoking gun
