Band-Aid on a Bullet Hole

Band Aid On a Bullet Hole

I fed the horses fallen apples

Through a break I found in the barbed wire

In their eyes I saw a death and in their warm breath

I felt what was a fire

When you found me crawling through the ashes

You helped me tie my love into a noose

And when the smoke cleared I had traded in the years

For this excuse

We held on to each other

Like two pages stuck together

I ain’t ever letting you go

I’m a band aid on a bullet hole

Nature never asked me for permission

And memories don’t ask to become lies

Like the ghosts of my past my life began to flash

Before my eyes

Only you can hold my attention

Don’t be afraid to ask me where I’ve been

The full moon shines through the blinds, leaving soft lines

On your skin

We held on to each other

Like two pages stuck together

I ain’t ever letting you go

I’m a band aid on a bullet hole

What part of me are you taking with you?

What part will you leave me when you go?

I know I’ve done you wrong

But wasn’t that a long time ago?
