Come on take me down

Once it's lost you know we won't ever have it back

And there was nothing I could do to change the facts

You know I tried, you know I tried

I threw you all I have

I should have known It never falls just where you plan

And there are rules I was not meant to understand

I should have known, I should known

Understand I should have known, I should have known

And so I'm giving you the gun

Put your finger on the trigger

I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming

You were the one

Who could blind me with the mirror

And I can't see

And I don't need this no more

You put your love upon the cross

You know you sealed it in the darkness all along

Did you think that I could roll away the stone

I'm just a child, I'm just a child

You know I tried, I'm just a child, I'm just a child

And so I'm giving you the gun

Put your finger on the trigger

I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming

You were the one

Who could break me with the whisper

And I'm broken

And I won't take your time no more

Mother make my bed

A lady shot me and she's left me here to die

Sit beside me now and promise You won't cry

when I am gone, when I am gone

You won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

I've put the original lyrics here, but he's changed the lyrics lately. This is the

alternative version.

Come on take me out

When I am gone you know I'm never coming back

And now there's nothing I could do to change the facts,

You know I tried

I threw you all I had

From the night we spent down Congress Avenue

I should've known that I was never there with you

I should've known

Oh with you

I should've known

So I'm giving you the gun, put your finger to the trigger

Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming

You were the one who could blind me with a mirror

And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more

And I would've worn your cross

But you sealed it in the darkness all alone

Did you think that I could roll away the stone

I'm just a child

You know I tried

I'm just a child

So I've given you the gun put your finger to the trigger

Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming

You were the one who could blind me with the mirror

And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more

Sister, make my bed, if I'm shot

You know I'd hold your hand to die

Sit beside me now and promise you won't cry

When I am gone

Now you won't cry

When I am gone

Now you won't cry

When I am gone

And I am gone

-Vic.
