On the side of a bullet
Six feet away, they heard him say
(To take away somebody's life)
Please God, don’t let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
“God, why’d you let him do it?”
Could pull somebody through it
His brother watched him do it
And made the world all wonder why
So many lives are broken
And when I heard you let him die
On the side of a bullet
How could you put us through it?
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
I sat at home and on my own I cried alone
How could you be so full of hate?
And in the wake of his mistake
And to this day so many say
How could you let him do it?
And no excuse you could use
(What made you think you had the right?)
How could you take his life away?
He hit the stage so full of rage
(What made you think you had the right?)
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And made the world all wonder why
And made the world all wonder why
And let the whole world know it
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
How could you be so full of hate?
How could you be so full of hate?
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
His brother watched you do it
And when I heard you let him die
“Oh God, don’t let him pull it”
How could you take his life away?
(What made you think you had the right?)
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
(To take away somebody's life)
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
How could you take his life away?
