Take a breath, take it deep
 Calm yourself, he says to me
 If you play, you play for keeps
 Take a gun, and count to three
 I’m sweating now, moving slow
 No time to think, my turn to go

[Refrain]
 And you can see my heart beating
 You can see it through my chest
 And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
 He says, close you eyes
 Sometimes it helps
 And then I get a scary thought
 That he’s here means he’s never
 lost

[Refrain]
 And you can see my heart beating
 You can see it through my chest
 And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
 I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
 So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
 But it’s too late to pick up the value of my life

[Refrain]
 And you can see my heart beating
 You can see it through my chest
 And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
 Know that I must pass this test
 So just pull the trigger
