Brides and Bullet holes

By C.R. Diamond

Take up all the love you can before it goes to waste
Take up all the time you can before you go in haste

You’ve got to realize that when I asked you with this ring
I was thinking that you and I would be much more than a fling
So when I saw you and him in bed having so much fun
I figured that I’d join you two and bring along my gun

Oh, oh, oh, don’t you understand the roles that we play
Oh, oh, oh, you’re just following a thousand damned souls
Was it lust? That conspired so that my trust you did betray
Don’t say a word. It’s another story of brides and bullet holes

I had the perfect life for you and me in mind
At gunpoint you look into my tense eyes
Woman, no girl, what do you expect to find?
I’m sick of the hellish paradise of your lies

Oh, oh, oh, don’t you understand the roles that we play
Oh, oh, oh, you’re just following a thousand damned souls
Was it lust? That conspired so that my trust you did betray
Don’t say a word. It’s another story of brides and bullet holes

Now you lay in bed with his assets in your hand
With ring on your finger, I just don’t understand
Freely you gave him the contents of your lip
Now I’ll give you both the contents of my clip

Take up all the love you can before it goes to waste
Take up all the time you can before you go in haste
