"Jean-Paul" Lyrics

Got a few demons
That keep me up at night
Got a few reasons
Why I couldn't fight
Got a few ghosts
I'm promising not to love
Got some hope
I'm trying to get rid of

The gun was warm
Against her sweaty hands
The rain fell
I thought I could understand

She keeps her cross right next to
Her white, red, and blue
He keeps his lies cozy
Right next to the truth
He doesn't know what he wants
But that hasn't stopped him yet
I got a peacemaker and
I am a patriot

The gun was cold
Against her practiced hand
She took her shot
Just as history demands
She didn't do it for me
Didn't do it for love
Did it for the money
She didn't do it for me
Didn't do it for love
Did it for the country

No sir, I don't know her
At least not since she left my bed
No sir, I haven't seen her
At least not since she left my head
No sir, you won't find her
I have been trying for years
No sir, you can't catch her
She hasn't got any fears

Got a few demons
That keep me up at night
Got a few reasons
To avoid the light
Got a few ghosts
I'm promising not to love
Got some hope
I'm trying to grab hold of

The gun was hot
Against her lowered hand
The shaking was
Entirely unplanned
She didn't do it for me
Didn't do it for love
Did it for the money
Did it for the country
