Got your finger on the trigger
your cold eyes taking aim
you took a shot at my heart, let the bullets fly
tell me, has one of them got my name?
what about the heartache?
what about the emptiness inside?
it doesn't just fade away
turnin' the knife
how much can I bleed?
the cut runs deep
I can't find no salvation
can't find no healing touch
reaching out for mercy
a stranger in your eyes
I want you, want you too much
what about the heartache
what about the emptiness inside
it doesn't just fade away
turnin' the knife
how much can I bleed?
the cut runs deep
