Bullet
Clare Maguire⹯ Lyrics

I was told loneliness was like spaces between the stars
I was told that loneliness is a feeling of emptiness and vastness, just like the spaces between the stars in the sky.

Well, its empty between these starry eyes
My eyes may shine bright like the stars, but inside, I feel empty and hollow.

I was told a dead man was heavier than a broken heart
I was told that the weight of the loss of a loved one is heavier than anything else, but now I wonder if I am the one who is dead inside with the weight of a broken heart.

Am I dead now?
I feel so much pain that I often wonder if I am alive or dead, as the pain of a broken heart can be overwhelming.

My heart sure feels heavy
My heart is consumed with grief and feels heavy with the weight of sadness.

And i try not to feel I try not to feel Its so hard to believe it
I try to numb myself from these painful emotions, but it's difficult to believe that this is happening to me.

I was told that time tip-toed by
I was told that time moves slowly in difficult situations, but for me, time seems to be speeding by without mercy.

I can hear his footsteps running past me
Time seems to be moving too quickly and I can almost hear it running past me, never giving me a chance to catch up.

I was told i had a face with nothing to fear
I was told that I had a strong and fearless face, but now I realize that there are many things that make me fearful.

That's not the first thing that scared me
There are many things that scare me now, and I realize that having a brave face doesn't mean you are immune to fear.

You shot this bullet through my bones You shot this bullet, Through my bones
The pain of a broken heart is like being shot with a bullet that pierces deep into your bones, causing a pain that is almost physical.

You shot me down Down down ago You shot me down Down down ago
The pain of heartbreak has left me feeling shattered and broken, falling down and unable to pick myself up.

I get up, take the phone from my hands The glass from my lips The pictures from my finger-tips
I try to distract myself from the pain by removing all the things that remind me of the person who hurt me, like the phone, the glass I was drinking from, and the pictures we took together.

I stand up, walk round and round I don't hear no sound cause it's only the words That you last spoke to me
I walk around in circles trying to escape the pain, but all I can hear are the words that were last spoken to me by the person who hurt me.

But in the end of it all, it's true You shot this bullet through my bones You shot this bullet, through my bones
No matter how much I try to distract myself or numb the pain, the reality is that someone I trusted and loved hurt me deeply, leaving me broken and wounded.

You shot me down Down down ago You shot me down Down down ago You shot me down Down down ago You shot me down Down down ago
The pain of being hurt by someone you loved is intense and feels like being shot down repeatedly, leaving you feeling helpless and unable to escape the pain.
