I Was a Gun Lyrics

I hate to say it but I'll likely never change

A head of ironwood

You thought that maybe you could mold me into something

Beyond boyhood

I'm a joke, a gas, with no slant rhyme or reason

Can't even hold a job down for more than a season

I was a gun

You were a flower

I was poorly gettin' paid by the hour

I was a wrecking ball and downright dour

You were the only one that saw any good

I was plum

Unpleasant and sour

I wasn't ripe but your patience was power

You let me sweeten up and then you devoured

You were the only one that saw any good

That saw any good

It's hard to say it but the children that we made

Are all that saved me

Now I awake and there's promise in the day

Our blue-eyed babies

As for us, a shrug and a love in disrepair

Have we given up? Regardless I promise I'll be there

I was a gun

You were a flower

I was poorly gettin' paid by the hour

I was a wrecking ball and downright dour

You were the only one that saw any good

I was plum

Unpleasant and sour

I wasn't ripe but your patience was power

You let me sweeten up and then you devoured

You were the only one that saw any good

That saw any good
