In between the coats in the closet
She held onto that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just won't stop it
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
She puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's saying
She's praying
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting
No hurt
No one
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
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 rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
Wish there was a white flag waving
Or that they were both just faking
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 score card
And just turn off all the noise
I wish words were like little toys guns
No sting
No hurt
No one
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
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 rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little 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 rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
No smoke
No bullets
No shot from the trigger when you pull it
No bang bang
No damage done
I wish words were like little toy guns
Just a bang bang rolling off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
Oh...
Like little toy guns
