Shot Straight

Drop

I was your broken arrow

Shot straight and then let go

Verse 1

Sixteen summers in a small town

You carved our names in wet cement

Now the rain has worn the letters down

And I'm still standing where you went

Two bikes leaning on a chain-link fence

Pre-Chorus

You said forever like it weighed nothing

Like a promise you could hand back

Chorus

I was your broken arrow

Flew crooked then I fell

I was your broken arrow

You aimed me at yourself

Now every time you pull it back

You're pulling out the past

I was your broken arrow

Nothing built to last

Drop

I was your broken arrow

Shot straight and then let go

I was your broken arrow

Shot straight and then let go

Verse 2

Winter came and took the garden

You left a voicemail I still keep

Mumbled something soft and guarded

Then you hung up half asleep

And I played it back a hundred times

Pre-Chorus

You said forever like it weighed nothing

Like a promise you could hand back

Chorus

I was your broken arrow

Flew crooked then I fell

I was your broken arrow

You aimed me at yourself

Now every time you pull it back

You're pulling out the past

I was your broken arrow

Nothing built to last

Bridge

Miss me

Miss me not

Tie me

Tie the knot

Cut me

Cut me loose

I'm the arrow you can't use

Drop

I was your broken arrow

Shot straight and then let go

I was your broken arrow

Shot straight and then let go

Chorus

I was your broken arrow

Flew crooked then I fell

I was your broken arrow

You aimed me at yourself

Now every time you pull it back

You're pulling out the past

I was your broken arrow

Nothing built to last
