I'll tell you a story
Of blood, guts and glory
And all that was lost on the way
There was nothing to do
And nowhere to run
There was nothing that I could say
Are the dust in my eyes enough
To tell me what to do?
And the bullet you left in my thigh
Well, I'm giving it back to you
It wasn't always that easy
No, it wasn't always that slow
I just thought you'd like to know this time
I just thought you'd like to know
And did you tell your mother what you did to me that day?
Or when she asked you where you found success
Did you simply turn away?
I'm coming for you now
And I'm coming for her too
And when you're in the ground
Well, maybe I'll be done with you
It wasn't always that easy
No, it wasn't always that slow
And when the gun was cocked
And when the bullet was set
Well, there was nowhere left to go
It wasn't always that easy
No, it wasn't always that slow
I just thought you'd like to know this time
I just thought you'd like to know
And was I wrong?
Was it fated from the start?
Or did I stand a chance at all?
Here, I'll wait inside a bar
For that proverbial hammer to fall
And he's coming for me now
Oh, he's coming for her too
And when we're in the ground
Well, then we'll still have nothing left that we can do
That we can do, that we can do
Are the dust in my eyes enough
To tell me what to do?
And the bullet you left in my thigh
Well, I'm giving it back to you
It wasn't always that easy
No, it wasn't always that slow
I just thought you'd like to know this time
I just thought you'd like to know
