WAS it me you were gunning for

I looked around for the sound as I hit the floor

Thought I saw you standin' by the door just before you slipped away

Bad days only lie ahead, we shot it out and our love was left for dead

Would you rather it were me instead, is this the only way

Chorus:

What can I say, these are violent days, violent days

Love slips away, these are violent days, violent days

And so we find that we can't go on

Pack a bag and you head out on the run

Move by night to elude the sun and avoid the light of day

It wasn't love we were running from

We gave in to what we thought was a different drum

Take a look at what it's become, it's sad but it's the truth

Chorus

Is anybody old enough to remember when

This division and doubt won out and the loneliness began

Some say it's just the turn of the dice

Others say we should be willing to sacrifice

Think it over but don't think twice, don't let it spoil your day

Chorus--(out)
