Bullet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it was years ago, long before I'd ever met the Queen
I would stay up all night and act like heaven was a place I'd already seen
And then you straddled me, like a bridge going somewhere good
And I looked at your eyes and I was like... oh my word

[Chorus]
This is how I fell in love
(That was the moment when I)
No one ever near good enough
(That was the moment when I)

[Verse 2]
It started years ago long before I'd ever been to see
Us, hoping she would come and find, run and find me
But I was somewhere out of time, out of space, out of whack
It's the unknown now, can never look back

[Chorus]
This is how I fell in love
(That was the moment when I)
No one ever near good enough
(That was the moment when I)
That's why I fell in love

[Bridge]
And I hope it don't change
And I hope it stays the same
And I hope we do remain best friends
Cause I love you more than life
Take a bullet for you
I swear, I swear
In a heartbeat
I'd jump in front of that gun
And take a bullet for you baby
Instantly
[Chorus 2]
You're why I fell in love
(Take a bullet for you baby)
And that's why it hurts
(Take a bullet for you baby)

I'd take a bullet for you
I'd take a bullet for you
I'd take a bullet for you
I'd take a bullet for you
I adore you
I adore you
I love
You

[Chorus]
This is how I fell in love
(That was the moment when I)
No one ever near good enough
(That was the moment when I)

[Outro]
Never look back
Never look back
Never look back

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 [?]
