Shoot Me Down Lyrics

They know all the words that kill
They know them better than I ever will
Some just have those looks that stun,
But I better run
Before you shoot me down
Just like a loaded gun

I don't know how I've come to see
Such a pretty lady looking at me
Soar above the grassy field
My lips are sealed,
But not tight enough
Because I don't know if you're real

Why do you do this to me?
You leave me stressed and unrelieved
I don't know what I'll do today
I'm not myself while you're away

Lay me down in the rye
I'll fall asleep but won't close my eyes
Understand my predicament
I said what I meant
But I said too much
Now I don't know what I'm in

You're not at fault, but neither am I
Just calm down and dry your eyes
They know all the words that kill
I'm standing still
But I know I shouldn't be
Against my will

Why do you do this to me?
You leave me stressed and unrelieved
I don't know what I'll do today
I'm not myself while you're away
