A Shot Across The Bow
Mayday Parade

It's time I said this, but I'm so choked up

And I need my sanity

I'm scared, believe me

You can see me smile

If you let me just stick around


Well this is bye, bye baby

It ended like a sudden stop on a freight train

If you're not happy and you hurt this much

Then let me just stick around


Can I have one second of your time?

If I don't it'll drive me crazy

As I drop to my knees

And scream I hate you more than you could know


I hope you fall into the ocean

And the current leaves you helpless swimming around

As the waves crash over you until you drown and float away

And hold a funeral for nothing

And celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground


Now it's back to reality

I'm left in shambles but I guess that's how I should be

I knew the wedding bells were ringing loud

But my bride was missing

No, it's not supposed to hurt this much

But when someone slowly breaks it off

It tends to leave a bitter taste

A scar, that slowly rips apart


Can I have one second of your time?

If I don't it'll drive me crazy

As I drop to my knees

And scream I hate you more than you could know


I hope you fall into the ocean

And the current leaves you helpless swimming around

As the waves crash over you until you drown and float away

And hold a funeral for nothing

And celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

Underground


I've had enough but it's all for the best

I need to get a few things off my chest

There's got to be another way I can say it

But to get it right, I have to get straight

I hope he tasted like the way I used to taste

I can't believe I'd even say this to you now

When you won't listen at all


I hope you fall into the ocean

And the current leaves you helpless swimming around

As the waves crash over you, and over you until you drown

And we'll hold a funeral for nothing

And celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
