You and I went deeply, you and I went far and wide

You and I went gently, you and I went for a ride

But somewhere in the ashes of this burning lovers' game

Somehow you've decided that you would find another flame

And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut

I will be cleaning my gun

Cleaning my gun

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done

You never lied to me, never said you'd be around for long

But somehow I believed that you would be my only one

Cause you know where I'm going, and you know where I'm coming from

But now this train is slowly coming to its final destination

And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut

I will be cleaning my gun

Cleaning my gun

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done

Cleaning my gun

Cleaning my gun

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done

And as you lay sleeping with your eyes softly shut

I know it ain't me that you're dreaming of

Mother always told me love would save me from myself

Daddy always said that love would take me straight to hell

Sometimes they were righteous and sometimes they were oh so wrong

Cause I'm cleaning my gun

Cleaning my gun

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done

Cleaning my gun

Cleaning my gun

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done

When heaven or hell takes this life

I'll be done
