In between the coats in the closet
She held onto 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 fighting 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
And she's saying
And she's praying
I wish words were like little toy guns no sting, no hurting no one
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets no kick from the trigger when you pull it no pain, no damage done
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
Wish there was a white flag waving
Or that they were both just faking
And it was just a game they were playing 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 hurting no one
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets no kick from the trigger when you pull it no pain, no damage done
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue 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
Yeah
Like little toy guns
No sting, no hurting no one
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
Yeah hey
No smoke, no bullets no shot from the trigger when you pull it no pain, no damage done
And just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
Toy guns
Oh, like little toy guns
