Bandoliers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, it's too late
I got hit by the closing door
And as I watch myself reflect
On the wrong side of...
My, you've changed
You turned a corner I'll never go

I admit I feel a bit deceived
You're expecting I'd follow


[Pre-Chorus]
Bandoliers
To fight me dear
Nobody caused the rift
We've just grown apart now


[Chorus]
So prepare, and take aim, and then fire
Prepare, and take aim, and fire

[Post-Chorus]
On me
If that's the way it has to be

[Verse 2]
I'm fooling myself
Fooling myself into believing you
And all these fictionary tales
You're tellin' yourself
Selfish
Like a child that's never heard a "no"
I watched him ever changing you
Never find us
[Pre-Chorus]
Bandoliers
To fight you dear
Nobody caused the rift
Can't become what I'm not
You've always had my heart
So if it must be broken

[Chorus]
Prepare, and take aim, and then fire
Prepare, and take aim, and then fire
Prepare, and take aim, and then fi-
Prepare, and take aim, and then fire

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Fire away

[Bridge]
If you must, but I only came
Just to let you know
This is goodbye, hey-oh
Goodbye, oh-oh-oh
Goodbye, oh-oh-oh
Goodbye, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Prepare, and take aim, and then fire
Prepare, and take aim, and then fire

[Outro]
'Cause no one can make me fire
No one can make me fire

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
