"Shoot Me Dead" lyrics

"Shoot Me Dead"

Your daughter don't deserve this
I even told her she was perfect
But I took her heart and then I ripped it in half
This ain't the first time I've done this neither
Leaving them believing I ain't just a scumbag heathen
But I'm a bad man, a quicksand trap
I'm gonna hold on to you
Then I'm headed to the next
Cigarette between my lips and a plastic smile
I'm sorry, baby, I'm a liar
How is it possible to love someone else
If I can't even love myself?
I know it's hard to be alone, too many different women in my phone

Shoulda left me at the door, but you let me in
And now your heart is on the floor, and I know
Your daddy wants to shoot me dead, it's not what I intended
I said "I love you," but I, I never even meant it, yeah

Romeo and Juliet
But Juliet don't know that I've been talking with Annette
And Stephanie's at home, it's sorta messing with her head
I lost my conscience long ago and I've been tryna get it back
And anytime I feel upset
I'm calling up whichever one will let me in their head
I find it hard to sleep if you're not breathing down my neck
I'm terrified of being alone, so I've been seeking out affection

Shoulda left me at the door, but you let me in
And now your heart is on the floor, and I know
Your daddy wants to shoot me dead, it's not what I intended
I said "I love you," but I, I never even meant it, yeah

Shoulda left me at the door, but you let me in
And now your heart is on the floor, and I know
Your daddy wants to shoot me dead, it's not what I intended
I said "I love you," but I, I never even meant it, yeah
Shoulda left me at the door, but you let me in
And now your heart is on the floor, and I know
Your daddy wants to shoot me dead, it's not what I intended
I said "I love you," but I, I never even meant it, no
