take a breath

take it deep

calm yourself he says to me

if you play you play for keeps

take the gun and count to three

im sweating now

moving slow

no time to think my turn to go

and you can see my heart beating

you can see it through my chest

said i'm terrified but i'm not leaving

i know that i must pass this test

so just pull the trigger

say a prayer to yourself

he says close your eyes

sometimes it helps

and then i get a scary thought

that he's here means he's never lost

and you can see my heart beating

no you can see it through my chest

said i'm terrified but i'm not leaving

know that i must pass this test

so just pull my trigger

as my life flashes before my eyes

i'm wondering will i ever

see another sunrise

so many won't get the

chance to say good bye

but its too late to think

of the value of my life

and you can see my heart beating

no you can see it through my chest

said i'm terrified but

i'm not leaving no

know that i must pass this test

you can see my heart beating

oh you can see it through my chest

i'm terrified but i'm not leaving no

know that i must pass this test

so just pull the trigger
