lyrics

You don’t get to be the one to pull the trigger, fire the gun,
And shatter this stale silence we’ve been in
Cause I’ve been doing quite all right with bitter days and loveless nights
And now you find your patience wearing thin

A smug look on your face and a half hearted embrace
Say ‘baby it’s time for a fresh start’
It’s so plain to see that somebody has to be
The one to finally break your pretty heart

Oh

You don’t get to up and go and take the high road when I know
You planned to play me like you always do
Don’t bother with apologies for I’d have been blind not to see
The broken hearts that tend to follow you

Darling give it up I knew you’d never love me proper from the very start
It’s so plan to see that somebody has to be the one to finally break your pretty heart

Oh

Not a moment was real, you don’t really feel

You don’t get to be the one to pull the trigger fire the gun
When I’m the one with aces left to play
See I’ve been doing quite alright just sitting pretty, biding time
While you cheated lied and dug your own sweet grave

Darling baby please while I’ve got you on your knees
Tell the truth you never loved me from the start
It so plain to see in the end I’ll have to be the one to finally break your pretty heart.
