Nobody wins

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Friday night at the edge of town, Dust kicked up as the sun went down. Two old friends with whiskey eyes, Both believed the same sweet lies. She stood silent in the parking lot, Heart divided, nerves tied in knots. Pride burned hotter than the summer sun, Neither man would turn and run. [Pre-Chorus] Words turned sharp like broken glass, Neither one would let it pass. [Chorus] One swing landed, fists hit dirt, Every punch just made it worse. Steel flashed cold beneath the moon, Hatred sang a deadly tune. Then thunder cracked from a trembling hand, Everything fell where they stood that night. Love didn't live, nobody won, Three broken lives beneath one gun. [Verse 2] Sheriff lights painted red and blue, Silence louder than the truth. Empty bottles, broken dreams, Nothing's ever what it seems. Mama cried, church bells rang, Grief still echoed through the pain. One bad choice in a moment's rage, Left forever on that page. [Bridge] If they'd walked instead of stayed, Maybe love would've found another way. But anger never keeps its word, Only leaves the hurt. [Final Chorus] Fists turned knives, knives turned smoke, Every promise finally broke. Jealous hearts dug all their graves, None were strong enough to change. Now every Friday, people say, Don't let pride steal love away. Love didn't live, nobody won, Three lost souls... beneath one gun. [Outro] The wind still whispers through those pines, Warning every heart in time. When anger pulls the trigger's weight... Everybody ends up too late.
