[Verse 1]
The past comes back to haunt you
Scratching at the door
It's grip is getting stronger
Much tighter than before
Your farewell's on the table
The ink has barely dried
Is it really better?
[Chorus]
When the gun goes
Boom!
When the gun goes
Boom! Boom!
[Verse 2]
The tears are never ending
Devastation's all we know
The tapestry's unwinding
With every lie you told
You crushed the ones you let down
Betrayed the ones you love
Are you sure this is the answer?
[Chorus]
When the gun goes
Boom!
When the gun goes
Boom! Boom!
[Post-Chorus]
Sitting in the church now
With the preacher and the pews
We're all growing old now
With memories in your tomb
[Bridge]
Spoken from the lips
Of a ghost that lives within
There is hope and you are needed
Lay it down it's not the end
(2x)
When the gun goes
When the gun goes
When the gun goes
[Chorus]
When the gun goes
Boom!
When the gun goes
Boom! Boom!
(2x)
[Post-Chorus]
Standing here with you now
With the preacher and your groom
You can grow old now
And the pain is finally through
[Outro]
Boom!
When the gun goes
Boom! Boom!
When the gun goes
