lyrics

Bang Bang
by Brenda Carsey

Sister girl, where have you gone?
I’ve been walking these streets for so long
Following echoes off the walls
Your voice, I swear it calls
Never could I’ve imagined
That you would be gone forever
And never could I have fathomed
One click would be it
Now I’m pissed and I’m screaming out

Bang bang
Too many people dying
From other people who are taking their lives
Bang bang
Too many friends are leaving
Me in the dust as they take to the sky
Oh, it shouldn’t be like this my baby
They had so much life to live, this shit’s crazy
Ooo, too many families broken
Trying to hold on to the memories, to the memories, to the memories, to the memories

Brother man, where have you gone?
What the hell is going on?
You always did what you should
You were always doing good
And always had a smile
Beaming from your face
But now I sit in denial
How could one click be it
Now I’m screaming out

Bang bang
Too many people dying
From other people who are taking their lives
Bang bang
Too many friends are leaving
Me in the dust as they take to the sky
Oh, it shouldn’t be like this my baby
They had so much life to live, this shit’s crazy
Ooo, too many families broken
Trying to hold on to the memories, to the memories, to the memories, to the memories

I never thought I’d lose you to a hand that’s not your own
Seems like everywhere I go, your face appears
And I thought I had you for at least a few more years
But I guess that’s out of my hands now
Trying to get you out of my head now

Bang bang
Too many people dying
From other people who are taking their lives
Bang bang
Too many friends are leaving
Me in the dust as they take to the sky
Oh, it shouldn’t be like this my baby
They had so much life to live, this shit’s crazy
Ooo, too many families broken
Trying to hold on to the memories, to the memories, to the memories, to the memories…
