In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it aint a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wont stop it
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
Shes caught in the crossfire (crossfire...)
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through her tears
Shes saying shes praying.

I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting no hurt no one Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah no smoke no bullets no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)

Wish there was a white flag waving or that they were both just faking
And it was just a game they were playing like shootem up cowboys (cowboys...)
Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.

I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting no hurt no one Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah no smoke no bullets no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Toy guns...

I wish they didnt cut like a knife
I wish they didnt break you inside
I wish they didnt bang bang make you wanna run yeah

Like little toy guns
No sting no hurt no one Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah no smoke no bullets no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No pain no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Toy guns...
Oh like little toy guns
