[Verse 1] You drew a heart on a paper plate left it spinning in the kitchen sink Said, “I don’t care” with your eyes too bright laughed like thunder on a windless night Soft talk you cut me in half with your calm walk we tiptoe around every land mine we both brought I’m tired of the tightrope, tired of the small talk [Pre-Chorus] All of these almosts stacked to the ceiling every “not yet” killing the feeling [Chorus] Take the shoot kill me now, here aim for the truth not the atmosphere If you’re gonna leave don’t disappear Take the shoot kill me now, here (oh) kill me now, here [Verse 2] You trace my scars like a dotted line say, “you’re dramatic” then you cross that sign Coffee gone cold on the same old chair we keep pretending we’re not drowning here Slow words you circle the wound till the stone hurts you call it a phase while my whole world burns I’m done being brave for a love that just won’t turn [Pre-Chorus] All of these half-loves ghosts at the table if you can’t hold me then be my betrayal [Chorus] Take the shoot kill me now, here aim for the truth not the atmosphere If you’re gonna break make it crystal clear Take the shoot kill me now, here (hey) kill me now, here [Bridge] [Choir swells, distant, echoing] Say it once say it straight am I yours or just too late Whistle over every promise cracked (ooh) I won’t beg you I won’t crawl back If this is the end pull the trigger word let it echo out till the sky is blurred [Chorus] Take the shoot kill me now, here aim for the truth not the atmosphere If you’re gonna run don’t just disappear Take the shoot kill me now, here (woah) kill me now, here [Outro] Soft talk, slow walk fading out of frame I stand in the doorway finally saying your name Take the shoot (one last time, my dear) kill me now, here kill me now, here
