Little Toy Guns by Carrie Underwood


In between the coats in the closet,

She held on to that heart shaped locket,

Staring at a family, flawless,

But it ain't a pretty picture tonight,

Mom and Daddy just won't stop it,

Fighting at the drop of the faucet,

Cuts through the walls, catastrophic,

She's caught in the cross fire,

Puts her hands over her ears,

Starts talking through the tears,

She's saying, She's praying,

"I wish words were like little toy guns,

No sting, no hurt, no one,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,

Yeah, no smoke, no bullet,

No kick from the trigger when you pull it,

No pain, no damage done,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,"

Wish there was a white flag waving,

Or that they were both just faking,

And it was just a game they were playing,

Like "Shoot 'em Up  Cowboy's",

Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard,

Throw away the score card,

Just turn off all the noise,

"I wish words were like little toy guns,

No sting, no hurt, no one,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,

Yeah, no smoke, no bullet,

No kick from the trigger when you pull it,

No pain, no damage done,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,"

Toy guns,

"Oh, I wish they didn't cut like a knife,

I wish they didn't break you inside,

I wish they didn't bang, bang make you wanna run,

Yeah, like little toy guns,

No sting, no hurt, no one,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,

Yeah, no smock, no bullet,

No shot from the trigger when you pull it,

No pain, no damage done,

Just a bang, bang rollin' off your tongue,

Toy guns, oh, like little toy guns."
