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 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
I wish words were like little toy guns
Yeah
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
Yeah
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
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
I wish words were like little toy guns
Yeah
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
