Baby's got a gun, he keeps it by our bed
He tells me if I love him, I'll fill his heart with lead
His lips tastes like sugar, but his kiss is bittersweet
By car or by coffin, one day he's gonna leave me
And it hurts so bad
And it hurts so bad
And it hurts so bad
To love a dying man
To love a dying man
Baby's doomed to live, it's always on his mind
Even when he smiles, I see it in his eyes
I thought that I could help him, but he's too broke to fix
No matter what I tell him, words just never stick for good
And it hurts so bad
And it hurts so bad
And it hurts so bad
To love a dying man
To love a dying man
Baby had a gun, he kept it by our bed
I told him that I loved him, so I had to shoot him dead
And it hurts so bad
