[Verse 1]

If love is a gun

Then we keep shooting down the ones who’ve done nothing wrong

Lover you’re a killer

No need for a sinner

You shoot it up, the bleeding heart

That doesn’t deserve it

The one that thinks they need it

You’re so fucked up

You’re so messed up

Don’t you know what it’s like to be in the spotlight

Of a sharpened knife

Of your words every night

It’s not right

[Chorus 1]

And if love is a gun

Then we keep shooting down the ones who’ve done nothing wrong

Now you’re on the run

Thе bullets are lost in those brokеn hearts

Piled up

[Refrain]

Why do we let so many throw us away

[Verse 2]

We keep pushing on

Keep tryna find that said ‘one’

God we’re so strong

Lover you’re a killer

No need for a sinner

You shoot it up, the bleeding heart

That doesn’t deserve it

The one that thinks they need it

You’re so fucked up

You’re so messed up

Don’t you know what it’s like

[Chorus 2]

And if love is a gun

Then we keep shooting down the ones who’ve done nothing wrong

Now you’re on the run

The bullets are lost in those broken hearts

Piled up

Now you’re behind bars

I hope you are

I need it just to fall asleep

And if love is a gun

No if love is a gun

[Refrain]

Why do we let so many throw us away

Bear the pain, of heartache

[Bridge]

Lover you’re a killer

Lover you’re a sinner

Lover you’re a killer

And I’m terrified, I’m petrified

Lover you’re a killer

Lover you’re a sinner

Lover you’re a killer

And I’m terrified you have my life

[Chorus 3]

And if love is a gun

Then we keep shooting down the ones who’ve done nothing wrong

Now you’re on the run

The bullets are lost in those broken hearts

Piled up

And if love is a gun

No if love is a gun

And if love is a gun

No if love is a gun

[Outro]

Man, you have a gun in your hand

Man, you have my heart in your hand
