Cleaning My Gun Lyrics

You and I went gently
You and I went far and wide
You and I went deeply
You and I went for a ride
But somewhere in the ashes of
This burning lovers' game
Somehow you decided you would
Find another flame

And as you lay sleeping with
Your eyes softly shut
I'll be cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done

You never lied to me
Never said you'd be around for long
But somehow I believed that you
Would be my only one
Because you know where I'm going, and
You know where I'm coming from
But now this train is slowly
Coming to it's final destination

And as you lay sleeping with
Your eyes softly shut
No it ain't me that you're dreaming of
Mother always told me love would
Save me from myself
Daddy always said that love would
Take me straight to hell
Sometimes they were right and sometimes
They were oh so wrong

Because I'm cleaning my gun cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done cleaning my gun
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done
When heaven or hell takes this life
I'll be done
