the dark alley where you stand
the gun pointed at your head
i walk by and notice you
trembling
the fear in your eyes
the shot sounds
and your life cant be taken

i jumped in front of the bullet
just to save your life
i didnt want you to be killed

i took a bullet to the heart
just to keep you alive
take my life instead
take my life away
i took a bullet to the heart
just to keep you alive
i couldnt live to see you die
i couldnt take the fear in your eyes

[take my life instead]
i couldnt see you die
[take my life away]
i saved your life out of love

my life was ended
out of my love for you
i dont care if youre not thankful
i just hope you are ok

i took a bullet to the heart
just to keep you alive
take my life instead
take my life away
i took a bullet to the heart
just to keep you alive
i couldnt live to see you die
i couldnt take the fear in your eyes

my funeral
you showed up to say goodbye
you wanted to thank me
for the deed i did for you
you couldnt keep back the tears
your secrets came out for everyone to hear
you loved me too
but now its too late
im gone

the night after the funeral
you sat in the dark of the cemetary
thanking me for what i did
crying over my grave
wishing you were with me
you couldnt take life without me
you took the gun from your side
put the gun to your heat
and pulled the trigger
just to join me
and be with me forever

you took a bullet to your heart
just to be with me
you couldnt take your life
you loved me enough to die
you took a bullet to your heart
just to be with me
together in the afterlife
together for eternity

before you pulled the trigger
you left a little note
it said you couldnt take your life
knowing that i died for you to stay alive

[i died for you]
our hearts drawn together
[forever in eternity]
we found eachother in death
[you died to be with me]
i dont think death could be better


i took a bullet to the heart
just to keep you alive
take my life instead
take my life away
you took a bullet to your heart
just to be with me
you couldnt take your life
you loved me enough to die
