"taking one for the team" lyrics

"taking one for the team"

Why are you throwing me under the bus when
You're the one who put the key in the ignition?
Why am I taking one for the team when
I'm the only one who doesn't even get a say in this decision?

I could destroy everything you've ever loved
With the gun you handed me
I know we loaded it together but now
The barrel's between my teeth

I don't know how many bullets we put in the magazine
(I've got nothing left to lose)
All I know is now I'm taking every damn one for the team
(Taking all of them for you)
So you could stay an angel, what a saint
You had me crucified
I know you feel the guilt too
But which one of us was condemned to die?

It's like we flew too close to the fucking sun
And life's taking it out on me
We should have never even touched the gun
But what's one casualty?

Maybe it'll all work out
And we will be okay
'Til then I'll lie in my grave
That we both dug that day
