Shot Fired

Verse 1

Sirens in the distance

I'm counting every second

Fingers on the pavement

Blood warm against the concrete

They told me keep my head low

They told me watch my back

But pride is a slow killer

And grief is a faster track

Pre-Chorus

Now the yard's gone quiet

And the birds don't sing

Just the hum of the city

And the ring my phone won't bring

Chorus

Shot fired

Shot fired

You can't take it back

Shot fired

Shot fired

And the truth goes black

Verse 2

I saw him in the doorway

Half a second turn

Now I'm holding onto nothing

That I'll ever unlearn

Mum's got a candle burning

Dad won't look at me

The streets learn our names in whispers

Then leave them out to bleed

Pre-Chorus

Now the kitchen's silent

And the plates don't move

Just the tick of the hour

And the ache I can't remove

Chorus

Shot fired

Shot fired

You can't take it back

Shot fired

Shot fired

And the truth goes black

Bridge

They'll write it on a gravestone

They'll say it in a verse

But nothing in the paper

Can put my brother first

I stand where he stood

I breathe where he fell

I carry every echo

That no one knows too well

Chorus

Shot fired

Shot fired

You can't take it back

Shot fired

Shot fired

And the truth goes black

Outro

(Mm)

(Mm-hmm)
