17 bullets in my gun
16 candles in my room
After tonight there will only be one
Gone forever with the moon
17 roses oh I smell
The devil's scent and I can tell
Which bullet is gonna send me to Hell
Send me to Hell
I know I belong in the ground
6 feet under while you dance all around
I deserve to lose you
But how does it feel being alone in your room?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And if we ironed out all of our problems
Then I still wouldn't lose you
Can't take back what I did
My love's gone sour
And I'm paying the rent
It's gonna be an empty crib
Why ask why when you know the truth?
I can't argue it
At least my mom's a fan of you
I shot too many bullets into you
No more fruit from the trees
Or flowers blooming in the spring
I saw white leaves
Rot as she sings
How dark it can be when we hang onto these things
