Lyrics
VERSE
She’s the bullet in the gun
That I didn’t see coming
Till it was too late
That’s what they’ll say
Staring up at the stars
Slowly bleeding out
PRE CHORUS
There’s a Backseat driver
on a runaway train
With nothing to lose
With nothing to gain
Now it’s all coming down
CHORUS
I thought we’d be more than just
The sum of broken parts
Seems I was wrong
VERSE
She’s the bullet in the gun
That I didn’t see coming
Till it was too late
That’s what he’ll say
Slowly bleeding out
BRIDGE
She’s the blade on the knife
That you didn’t see wielded
The noose round your neck
That you didn’t feel tighten
The spark from the match
That started the fire
And burned the place to the ground
PRE CHORUS
I was (just) the Backseat driver’s
on a runaway train
With nothing to lose
With nothing to gain
(And) I can see that now
CHORUS
I thought we’d be more than just
The sum of broken parts
I thought we’d be more than just
The sum of broken hearts
Seems I was wrong
