Little Toy Guns Lyrics
In between the coats in the closet she held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless but it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wouldn't stop it fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic she's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through her tears
She's saying, she's praying...
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Wish there was a white flag waving or that they were both just faking
And it was just a game they were playing like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
I wish they didn't cut like a knife
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run … yeah…
Like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh like little toy guns
Staring at a family flawless but it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wouldn't stop it fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic she's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through her tears
She's saying, she's praying...
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
And it was just a game they were playing like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna run … yeah…
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Oh like little toy guns

Underwood said that the song was inspired from seeing this happen to people around her and while the song is "rockin'" it does have a positive message.
I've seen it first hand from different people in my life and seen how the tumultuous parental relationship between each other can affect a child," she continued. "So that's kind of what it's about, but it's a really tempo-driven song as well, so it's kind of a bit of a juxtaposition as far as the story content and the music.
