Lyrics

Take a breath, take it deep
 Calm yourself, he says to me
 If you play, you play for keeps
 Take a gun, and count to three
 I'm 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
 And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
 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
 You can see it through my chest
 And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 So just pull the 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 goodbye
 But it's too late too pick up the value of my life
 ()
 And you can see my heart beating
 You can see it through my chest
 And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 And you can see my heart beating
 You can see it through my chest
 And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 So just pull the trigger.
