He holds the gun against my head
I close my eyes and bang I am dead
I know he knows that he’s killing me for mercy
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
He holds my body in his arms
He didn't mean to do no harm
And he holds me tight
Oh, he did it all to spare me from the awful things in life that come
And he cries and cries
I know he knows that he’s killing me for mercy
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
He holds my body in his arms
He didn't mean to do no harm
And he holds me tight
Oh, he did it all to spare me from the awful things in life that come
And he cries and cries
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
The gun is gone
And so am I
