Lonely Gun Lyrics

Living with a lonely gun
Like we're both too afraid to run
Unlike us it speaks the truth
Both are waiting to be used
Like a match and a fuse
When you come together
She's your life to lose

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

Every time I try to get a hold
You, you turn to stone
A bullet and a chamber, cold
Can you hear a heartbeat alone?

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

This lonely gun
Take my mind off this gun
This lonely gun

I don't know
Where the last pieces go
To fix our love
Fix our love
We try
We try
We try
Again to fill it up
Fill it up
Fill it up
Oh...

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

This lonely gun
Take my mind off this gun
This lonely gun

Living with a lonely gun
Like we're both too afraid to run
Unlike us it speaks the truth
Both are waiting to be used
Like a match and a fuse
When you come together
She's your life to lose

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

Every time I try to get a hold
You, you turn to stone
A bullet and a chamber, cold
Can you hear a heartbeat alone?

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

This lonely gun
Take my mind off this gun
This lonely gun

I don't know
Where the last pieces go
To fix our love
Fix our love
We try
We try
We try
Again to fill it up
Fill it up
Fill it up
Oh...

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

I wish I could I could turn it off
Bullets ricochet like thought
Anything to break the calm
Take my mind off this lonely gun

This lonely gun
Take my mind off this gun
This lonely gun

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
