Lyrics
[verse]
You aimed it careful, took your quiet time
Wrapped a heartbreak up in a perfect rhyme
I never saw the string until it snapped
Standing here undone, completely trapped
[verse]
You said forever with the sweetest tongue
Then vanished right after the arrow was strung
Now I'm walking wounded through the crowd
Wondering why love has to hurt this loud
[chorus]
Why'd you shoot me with a poison arrow
Straight through the heart, cutting deep and narrow
I never saw you coming till it hit
Now I'm left here nursing every bit
[verse]
Some hunters chase for the thrill of the game
Never caring who bleeds out from the aim
I was open, I was standing still
You took the shot just to prove you could kill
[chorus]
Why'd you shoot me with a poison arrow
Straight through the heart, cutting deep and narrow
I never saw you coming till it hit
Now I'm left here nursing every bit
[bridge]
Next time I'll wear my armor tight
Next time I'll see it before the flight
But this time, this time, I confess
You got me wide open, nothing less
[chorus]
Why'd you shoot me with a poison arrow
Straight through the heart, cutting deep and narrow
I never saw you coming till it hit
Now I'm left here nursing every bit
