my momma said

son you should eat more

and my pappa said

ambition ... score



and my teachers said

one day your just going to explode

my preacher said

when we die there's a place we all go



and i've watched the stars

blink out one by one

i've watched my scars

settle in we've become such good friends



good friends, good friends

good friends, good friends



momma said

you could have been the bomb

papa said

teacher said

you could have been the bomb

preacher said

you could have been the bomb

so stop me

if this song is hurting you

might try and wish it all away

but still the pain stays with you

and now you've got me

where i always need to go

just better take some cover from the shrapnel before i blow



'cause i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb

i could have been the bomb



could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over

could have been the bomb

you can feel it all over
