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 wouldn't stop it
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through her 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
I wish words were like little toy guns
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
I wish words were like little toy guns
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
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 cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card and 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
I wish words were like little toy guns
No smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
I wish words were like little toy guns
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
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
I wish words were like little toy guns
No smoke, no bullets, no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
I wish words were like little toy guns
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
I wish words were like little toy guns
Oh like little toy guns
