[Verse 1]
Suddenly you look like a stranger
A phase I knew, but I must've forgotten
Emotional flicker, you were my everything

[Pre-Chorus]
We know we could've done it better
Fought for the little things that we wanted
I know we were so good together
Still you had to let go

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish that you hadn't pulled the trigger
Shot me down with my bitter heart
My blood is getting thicker
You shot me down, you shot me down
With my bitter heart

[Verse 2]
You swam so deep into my river
Your footsteps lead everywhere I go
I never was a weeper
But I'm still holding on

[Pre-Chorus]
We know we could've done it better
Fought for the little things that we wanted
I know we were so good together
Still you had to let go

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish that you hadn't pulled the trigger
Shot me down with my bitter heart
My blood is getting thicker
Oh, you shot me down, you shot me down
Oh, I wish that you hadn't pulled the trigger
Shot me down with my bitter heart
My blood is getting thicker
Oh, you shot me down, you shot me down
My bitter heart

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh baby, look at me just one more time
Tell me that you don't regret it
I really thought we were fine
Then you shot me down

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish that you hadn't pulled the trigger
Shot me down with my bitter heart
My blood is getting thicker
Oh, you shot me down, you shot me down
Oh, I wish that you hadn't pulled the trigger
Shot me down with my bitter heart
My blood is getting thicker
And you shot me down, you shot me down
With my bitter heart
