Lyrics:

You slighted me with a promise
Said you’d never leave my side
You triumphed in the way you met me
Long before I found my pride

You said you’d rectify all the times we fought
And raised your glass up to the sky
But I woke up and viewed you all the same
I saw right through your roving eyes

I’m a bullet you load
In your revolver
Waiting in the cylinder
With other sorry souls
I’m sent flying through
The barrel
Piercing my dignity
Right through the skull

When you’re mad at me, you treat affection
Like it’s an awful sin
You roll in late and go to sleep without a word
I can only wonder where you’ve been

The porch light’s glow is slowly fading
It screams out for kerosene
In the darkness I lay out the minefield
I won’t let you burden me in dreams

I’m a bullet you load
In your revolver
Waiting in the cylinder
With other sorry souls
I’m sent flying through
The barrel
Piercing my dignity
Right through the skull
