In between the coats in the closet

She held on to that heart shaped locket

Staring at a family flawless

But it ain't a pretty picture tonight

Mom and daddy just wouldn'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 her tears

She's saying she's praying

I wish words were like little toy guns

No sting no hurt no one just a bang bang

Rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little toy guns

No smoke no bullets no kick

From the trigger when

You pull it

No pain no damage done

I wish words were like little toy guns

Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little toy guns

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 score card

Just turn off all

The noise

I wish words were like little toy guns

No sting no hurt no one just a bang bang

Rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little toy guns

No smoke no bullets no kick

From the trigger when

You pull it

No pain no damage done

I wish words were like little toy guns

Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little 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 yeah

Like little toy guns

No sting no hurt no

One just a bang bang

Rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little toy guns

No smoke no bullets no shot

From the trigger when

You pull it

No pain no damage done

I wish words were like little toy guns

Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue

I wish words were like little toy guns

Oh like little toy guns
