Lyrics

Canonball

Time goes on why did I wait?
I wish that I was somebody else.
The writing, the writing was all on the wall.
I should have just believed what you said.

Stuck in some place that I’ve never been.
What do you expect from a cannonball?

Words are sharp when they aim for the heart.
You never missed a time to be mean.
The screaming, the screaming the fight to be heard.
You should’ve just believed what I said.

Stuck in some place that I’ve never been.
What do you expect from a cannonball?

She curled her hand into a tight ball
as she ran down a dark hall
just to bounce off every wall.
She had little to no control
as her emotions would just flow
and someone would always get hurt.

Time goes on why did I wait?
I wish that I was somebody else.
The writing, the writing was all on the wall.
I should have just believed what you said.

Stuck in some place that I’ve never been.
What do you expect from a cannonball?

What do you expect from a cannonball?
What do you expect from a cannonball?
What do you expect from a cannonball?
