Love is Like a Loaded Gun

Every word you speak is a bullet in the air,
I never know when it will hit, or where.
Your words can soothe and uplift me.
But when they're cruel, I'm in misery.

Each beat of my heart is in your hands.
It’s a risk I don’t totally understand.
But I give it all, oh, don’t you see,
That you hold total power over me?

Love is like a loaded gun.
You hand it over when you trust someone.
Pointed straight at your heart and soul.
When you love someone, you lose control.

It’s a gamble, but I continue to play.
For love’s a fun game, I can't turn away.
So take your aim. I'll let it be.
Oh, promise you'll shoot just blanks at me.

Now I’ve glimpsed the shadows in your eyes.
They could break me with the truth or lies.
But I keep on hoping, rolling the dice,
That you’ll love me and treat me nice.

Yes, love is like a loaded gun.
You hand it over when you trust someone.
But I can't quit this game of Russian roulette.
Some day you'll hurt me badly, I bet.
