Do you hear me calling on your weary, wounded heart?
If I'd given you some light
Could you have found your way from the dark?
Nobody had told me you were walking on the ledge
It wasn't an angel on your shoulder
So what led you to go?

Wishes and rhymes are empty of meaning
You know, I try so hard
I'm not going to lie, you know that I'm bleeding

(A shot in the dark)
I'm shot in the heart
(I never felt so helpless)
Why did you leave me helpless?
(I need to tell you, you were missing the mark)
When did it start?
(Now the mistake can never be undone)
A fatal mistake can't be undone

I had never wanted so badly to undo the rules of time
But destiny changes when you're older
And now we'll never know

Give me a sign, you know what I'm needing
And though I try so hard

I'm walking the line, don't know what I'm feeling
Oh, but I try so hard

(A shot in the dark)
I'm shot in the heart
(I never felt so helpless)
Why did you leave me helpless?
(I need to tell you, you were missing the mark)
When did it start?
(Now the mistake can never be undone)
A fatal mistake can't be undone

Now the rage of my pain screams: Why?
Did you even try?
Where was the fight?

Questions haunt me
How can I sleep at night?
Should've done more to make you see
You were meant to be
Now, what about me?

Wishes and rhymes are empty of meaning
You know, I try so hard
I'm not going to lie, you know that I'm bleeding

(A shot in the dark)
I'm shot in the heart
(I never felt so helpless)
Why did you leave me helpless?
(I need to tell you, you were missing the mark)
When did it start?
(Now the mistake can never be)
A fatal mistake can't be

(A shot in the dark)
It's like I'd been shot
(I never felt so helpless)
Why did you leave us?
(I need to tell you, you were missing the mark)
When did it start?
(Now the mistake can never be undone)
Now your mistake can't be undone
