Jared Olojan - The Firing Line Lyrics

It's a lot to unpack in a couple of days
Started with growing love now it's blowing away
Was it her? No, it's me, how would she be involved?
It's a mess, I'm a failure, it must be my fault

Or at least I know I want it to be
How could someone that I love be so mean?

Here I go again, blaming myself
For a mistake I never made, but who else could I blame
I can't bring myself to feel like they are wrong
I'll let them think it's me and I'll just let them be
What's it like behind the firing line
What's it like to shoot the final goodbye

Younger days of my life never brought me the gun
If there was someone getting shot, you know I'm the one
Hopelessly caught in romance that'll never come by
Maybe someday I'll take a shot and never survive

Oh my heart is fickle, easy to break
I can be impatient, I can't be great

Here I go again, blaming myself
For a mistake I never made, but who else could I blame
I can't bring myself to feel like they are wrong
I'll let them think it's me and I'll just let them be
What's it like behind the firing line
What's it like to shoot the final goodbye

Line 'em up, take a shot, aim it at my heart
I won't move, shoot the message to end it
Leave me here with your heart feeling light again
Lover's shot hit the mark, now it's my turn

Here I go again, blaming myself
For a mistake I never made, but who else could I blame
I can't bring myself to feel like they are wrong
I'll let them think it's me and I'll just let them be
What's it like behind the firing line
What's it like to shoot the final goodbye
What's it like to leave them hurting alone
What's it like to leave them up in the smoke
