In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wont stop it
Fightin' at the drop of the faucet
Cuts through the walls, catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's sayin, she's prayin
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt, no one
Just a bang, bang rollin' of your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Wish there was a white flag wavin'
Or that they would both just fake it
And it was just a game they were playing, like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the scorecard
And just turn off all the noise
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt, no one
Just a bang, bang rollin' of your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Toy guns
I wish they didn't cut like a knife
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang, bang make you wanna run
Yeah
Like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt, no one
Just a bang, bang rollin' of your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
No smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Toy guns
Oh, like little toy guns
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
