[Verse 1]

Take a breath, take it deep

"Calm yourself", he says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take the gun and count to three

I'm sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go

[Chorus]

And you can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)

[Verse 2]

Say a prayer to yourself

He says, "Close your eyes

Sometimes it helps"

And then I get a scary thought

That he's here, means he's never lost

[Chorus]

And you can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

[Bridge]

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 think of the value of my life

[Chorus]

And you can see my heart beating

No, woah, you can see it through my chest

Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no

Know that I must pass this test

And you can see my heart beating

Oh, you can see it through my chest

Now I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving, no, no

Know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)
