I used to be the kind of man That had the world in my hand And all alone I really knew I loved the crowds but I live for you Like a fool I played it wrong And like the crowds you were gone And in the end I used to die From the same dream oh every night Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand So many friends are not around I need your love I need it now Don't want to lose don't want to be Just another another memory Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand Well I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand

Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? In my bed, in my head, in my hand Was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a knife in my heart? Why did love open up my scars? Why did love put a knife in my heart? In my bed, in my head, in my heart Was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love, why did love, why did love Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love, why did love) Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love) Why did love put a gun in my hand? Woah, in my hand Oh, was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? For the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Ooh, in my hand Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
