Lemme tell you a little story About a man screwed up in his own territory Has a crippling depression Should book a therapy session He has two kids and a wife It's a gift to have them in his life Trying to find the price Of life and what to offer It's getting to the point where he can't take no more His wife says, "why are your tears on the floor?" And he says I don't wanna do it anymore So life moves on That's the purpose of this song This is a true story Everyone put your hands up Sing the chorus You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not He goes to his parent's house Gets his daddy's gun What are you doing, son It really ain't no fun stealing your daddy's gun He goes out in the backyard and pops it The wife comes running out saying "I thought I locked it" I'm needing you These children, they need some feeding I'll put my finger in your head, maybe It'll stop the bleeding I'm needing you The ambulance roles up to the scene Not trying to be mean but we're pronouncing him dead on the scene She says "that can't be true. How could he do this?" We have to take him away, give him one last kiss Think of all the people he left behind, his dad, Chris She's really gonna miss There has to be a way to bring him back We could put him on life support All he'd be is a vegetable and that's a fact Hope you learn something from this lesson I'm still getting blessings You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not There is one more part to this story 4-year-old John in his room, how boring He looks out his window Sees it and hides his face in a pillow a couple weeks later they see a therapist I say this as I'm a studying lyricist They check out to make sure everything's okay They say John definitely saw something that day John was outgoing but now, he's really quiet Not eating much, on a strict diet Starts again wetting the bed He can't get the image out of his head The dad screwed this family's life up The wife has to hang the knife up He didn't really realize how many people he hurt The wife permanently takes off work Don't ever take your life for granted Manage it Don't damage it You choose how you handle it Thank you for your condolences I'm flattered Once it's done it doesn't matter What a disaster You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not You can cure the stab wound But you can't cure the long-term wound Once the gun is shot, it's shot, it's shot And you're not coming back, no you're not, not
