Please, please, forgive me
but I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up
and barely conscious you'll say to no-one:
"isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know,
you forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please, forgive me,
but I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there.
Isn't something missing,
Isn't something...?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
but I won't be home again.

We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...
