Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shape locket
Starin' 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 cross-fire
[Verse 2]
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talkin' through the tears
She's say'n, she's pray'n
[Verse 3]
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurtin' no one, just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, yeah, no damage done
Wish words were like little toy guns
And just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
[Verse 4]
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 pistol's in the front yard
Throw away the score card
And just turn off all the noise
[Verse 5]
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurtin' no one, just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, yeah, no damage done
Wish words were like little toy guns
And just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
Toy guns
[Verse 6]
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
Yeah
[Verse 7]
Like a little toy guns
No sting, no hurtin' no one, just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, yeah, no damage done
Wish words were like little toy guns
And just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue
Wish words were like little toy guns
Toy guns, oh like little toy guns
