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 won't stop it Fightin' 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 the tears She's sayin' She's prayin'
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) And just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue I wish words were like little toy guns
Wish there was a white flag wavin' Or that they were both just fakin' And it was just a game they were playin' Like shoot-em-up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard Throw away the scorecard 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) And just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue I wish words were like little toy guns
Oh, 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 Yeahhhhh
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) Yeah 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) And just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue I wish words were like little toy guns
