lyrics
You're the gun
I'm your aim
I'm the hand that's set in place
You're the nervous shake
You're a jump from a plane
I'm the parachute you take
You're a big mistake
You're not good for me
But you're what I need
So heavy
You weigh on my mind like an answer
That I'm too dumb to find
A disaster
You're the hunter and you set the bait
That I'm fool enough to take
You're the spins late at night
After cigarettes and wine
I'm sobriety
You're too much
I'm not enough
You're a threat
And I'm a bluff
It's neutrality
You're not good for me
But you're what I need
So heavy
You weigh on my mind like an answer
That I'm too dumb to find
A disaster
You're the hunter and you set the bait
That I'm fool enough to take
You are all that I've wanted
You are everything I am not
You are all that I've wanted
The only honest thing that I have got
Heavy
You weigh on my mind like an answer
That I'm too dumb to find
A disaster
You're the hunter and you set the bait
So heavy
You're the answer that I'm trying to find
Disaster
I watch as you're moving away
And I'm fool to wait
You're a trip without a map
And I don't know my way back
