In the description of the official music video, Nelson notes this song with
Write a song about your day, every night.
[Chorus]
I can still feel how it felt when you held me
And I can still dream the dreams we were set free
Sorry we don't fit into your picture frames
To be honest, I don't know if we have you to blame
And we will think of how it felt when we used to sing
But now I, bang bang, now I shoot you down
[Verse 1]
I didn't break down even though the words were spoken
I didn't break down even though you left me broken
It's funny how you held my hand and my brother, he was never safe
Cause, we were just one happy fam but then you walked, and you walked and you never fucking look back
Oh, oh..
[Chorus]
I can still feel how it felt when you held me
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
And I can still dream the dreams we were set free
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
Sorry we don't fit into your picture frames
To be honest, I don't know if we have you to blame
And we will think of how it felt when we used to sing
But now I, bang bang, now I shoot you down
[Verse 2]
I'll never break down cause you taught me years of lying
Don't know if it hurts, cause I'm numb from years of trying
It's funny how you led us on and, believing you would come back home and
I wonder if we did it wrong cause you walked, you walked and you never fucking look back
[Chorus]
I can still feel how it felt when you held me
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
And I can still dream the dreams we were set free
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
Sorry we don't fit into your picture frames
To be honest, I don't know if we have you to blame
And we will think of how it felt when we used to sing
But now I, bang bang, now I shoot you down
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
[Bridge]
It's funny how it turned out and looking back, we had our chance
And even though it sucks, we might just find each other
And we'll never drop those tears we wrote together
Even though my mind was somewhere else
[Chorus]
I can still feel how it felt when you held me
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
And I can still dream the dreams we were set free
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
Sorry we don't fit into your picture frames
To be honest, I don't know if we have you to blame
And we will think of how it felt when we used to sing
But now I, bang bang, now I shoot you down
I can still feel how it felt when you held me
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
And I can still dream the dreams we were set free
Bang bang, now I shoot you down
Sorry we don't fit into your picture frames
To be honest, I don't know if we have you to blame
And we will think of how it felt when we used to sing
But now I, bang bang, now I shoot you down
