Gun-Shy

Sometimes I feel like a moving target
Like heartache has its sights on me
So I'm not moving out of the dark yet
Till some smoke clears and I can see

Somethin' in your eyes makes me shiver
Things aren't always what they seem
Don't know what it would take to pull your trigger
But it won't be so easy to cripple me
'Cause baby I'm gun-shy
(you're) gonna have to lay down your arms
If you want to get close to me
Yeah baby, I'm gun-shy
(you're) gonna have to come empty-handed
If you want to take hold of me

I know the feel of cold, cruеl steel, yeah
How they set you up thеn shoot you down
No matter how high the hand they deal you
It's never too far to the ground

You can shoot off in any direction
Play tough on the other side of town
But it's gonna take some tender attention
To bring this wounded heart back around

'Cause baby I'm gun-shy
(you're) gonna have to lay down your arms
If you want to get close to me
Yeah baby, I'm gun-shy
(you're) gonna have to come empty-handed
If you want to take hold of me

One more hit to the heart
I'll be on my knees again
One more long shot in the dark
Be nothing but shattered dreams again
