Title: Soft Side of a Loaded Gun [Intro] Yeah Come close Not too fast I ain’t always been gentle But I’m trying [Verse 1] I got a past with teeth and a mouth full of nails A heart that learned love from a long list of fails I been sharp, I been cold, I been hard to hold Turned every warm hand into something I froze [Verse 2] But you don’t flinch when the thunder rolls in You touch the scar like it ain’t a sin You see the boy underneath all the damage Still trying to speak in a language he can manage [Pre-Chorus] I know I look like trouble I know I sound like pain But I can be a shelter When you’re tired of the rain [Chorus] There’s a soft side of a loaded gun A quiet place where I don’t run A little light in a blacked-out sun That only shows for you I got thunder in my bloodline I got trouble in my tongue But baby, you found the soft side Of a loaded gun [Post-Chorus] Only you Only you Found the part I never knew Only you Only you Made the danger tell the truth [Verse 3] I don’t promise perfect, I don’t sell no shine I got barbed wire wrapped round a crooked spine But I’ll stand in the doorway when the wolves get loud Put my shadow between you and the whole damn crowd You make the war in me lay down its knife Make a graveyard feel like it’s growing life I don’t know how you did what you done But you found the soft side of a loaded gun [Bridge] Lay your head where the danger sleeps I’ll keep watch while the dark gets deep I ain’t harmless I ain’t clean But I’m yours in the in-between [Quiet Breakdown] I was built like a warning sign Made of smoke and old bad news But somewhere under all that fire There’s a room I saved for you [Final Chorus] There’s a soft side of a loaded gun A quiet place where I don’t run A little light in a blacked-out sun That only shows for you I got thunder in my bloodline I got trouble in my tongue But baby, you found the soft side Of a loaded gun [Outro] Come close Not too fast I ain’t always been gentle But I’m trying
