Last Ever Lone Gunman

Snow Patrol

This heart break is never ending

It's like it never happened

A fall from grace is close

Why not speed it up?

I've never been so angry

To find out that I failed

It didn't even work

I have to make amends

I shot him from the window

The world just held it's breath

And I made my escape

As if no-one could see

I took off in my pick-up

Kids screaming in the back seat

They heard the shots too

And screamed cause that's their way

I do it alright in my own way

We've all got bigger plans

But when it comes down to it

Mine might save the world

At least for one more day

Don't judge me from your sofas

On TV things don't ever come across so true

They're made up in your minds
