Verse 1
When we first met, you were choosing.
When we last talked, I was losing;
But I had to let it go.
I knew you had to make your mind up.
I was already holding on to something bruising.
And I knew it was a long path.
Four years is a lot of math.
I laughed and then I sent you back.
Cracked doors ain’t closed, and that’s a fact.
I’m open; hoping that you figure it out.
Everything in its own time; I ain’t living with Doubt.
I erred on the side of caution, cause’ I’ve been there girl, and done’ that before.
A rebound ain’t a pretty thang’, just a fix for the moment.
In the moment it’s a pretty thang’.
And you sure are a pretty thang’, but I’d rather do what I want to do when I want to do it.
And pursuing ain’t an option now, but I get a call every now and then.
You want to come over and share your feelings?
Ain’t nothing’ wrong with a little bit of that sexual healing.
And you still got’ a thing for him.
With the ebb and flow, it’s so hard to let go.
Ain’t it?
You painted me a picture of a man trying to hold on too tight.
Too scared to let go…
And hear that echo of being alone in the dark night.
You’re so bright.
Well maybe he’s a shadow of fantasy that you’ve conjured up,
But I don’t give a fuck.
Chorus
If you could aim,
Shoot for my heart.
If you could aim,
Shoot for my heart.
Verse 2
You see I really didn’t want to talk about it, because I really had a hard time.
You had your hand out.
I had mine out, reaching.
Still we couldn’t seem to find, a straight line to the same point.
Paralleled by the same needs, same wants, same situations that we came from.
He love you like I love her.
You did him like she did me.
Well, hey, let’s face it.
I wouldn’t turn around, turn the clock back, or change the situation.
Naw, buddy, you done’ lost that.
I understand, because I’ve lost before.
If you let it go, and it don’t return, it ain’t a boomerang, meant to be, destiny is through the pain.
Breath, just a little bit, get it off your brain.
Live wire, Miss Fire, can’t ignite the flame.
Lost in a shuffled deck, win or lose pain.
Lost in a shuffled deck, win or lose pain.
You let the clubs beat you down for the diamonds.
Hearts bleed, and the spades trump it all in the end, plain.
All seems plain, but it ain’t plain, when you ain’t playing.
Misfires with your A game.
Throw your hands up, you gotta’ let it be.
Set it free.
If it comes back, then it’s meant to be; through the destiny!
Miss Fire, maybe you and me.
Miss Fire, maybe you and me?
Chorus
If you should aim,
Shoot for my heart.
If you should aim,
Shoot for my heart.
If you should aim,
You’d better
You’d better shoot for my heart.
If you should aim,
Shoot for my heart.
