Please don’t let me breathe
I don’t want to pass this on
It makes you want to scream
It’s just like playing with guns

You shoot fire at me
I’ll take my medicine
It makes me want to leave
It’s just like playing with guns

Feeding on the coals of my latest desire
The holes in my heart blow on the fire

Please don’t let me speak
I might say something smart
It makes you disbelieve
It’s just like playing with guns

Please don’t let me breathe
I don’t want to pass this on
It makes you want to leave
It’s just like playing with guns
