I brought a gun to a knife fight
My love, he never saw it coming
And as the pain fell from his eyes
Oh I, I pulled the trigger without warning
Maybe I've been living with my eyes closed
Blind to the blood on my hands
I spend most my nights talking to old ghosts
But it never seems to make me feel better
If I close my eyes and just listen close
They say, they'll stay and haunt me forever
I poured a tall glass of jet black lies
She drank it down quick like poison
Laced every word with cyanide
Took her last breath by early morning
Maybe I've been living with my eyes closed
Blind to the blood on my hands, oh
And I've been to the river but it's ice cold
Oh, I'm out of breath
I spend most my nights talking to old ghosts
But it never seems to make me feel better
If I close my eyes and just listen close
They say, they'll stay and haunt me forever
I spend most my nights talking to old ghosts
But it never seems to make me feel better
If I close my eyes and just listen close
They say, they'll stay and haunt me forever
If I could wake the dead
I would, I would, oh
Mmm
If I could take it back
I would, I would, oh
Oh
I spend most my nights talking to old ghosts
But it never seems to make me feel better
If I close my eyes and just listen close
They say, they'll haunt me forever
I spend most my nights talking to old ghosts
But it never seems to make me feel better
If I close my eyes and just listen close
They say, they'll stay and haunt me forever
They'll stay and haunt me
They'll stay and haunt me
