🎤 “Pain Is a Loaded Gun (That Goes Off)”
[Intro – soft, emotional]
Yeah…
I thought I was fine…
but I’m not…
mm…
⸻
[Hook]
Pain is a loaded gun that goes off inside my chest (my chest)
Every memory hit me, I can’t even rest (can’t rest)
Smile on the outside, but I’m breakin’ in silence (in silence)
Love turned dangerous, now I’m stuck in this violence
Pain is a loaded gun, I keep it tucked in my soul (my soul)
One wrong thought and I lose control (control)
Tryna act strong, but I’m losin’ the fight (the fight)
‘Cause pain is a loaded gun that goes off at night
⸻
[Verse 1 – emotional, Ann Marie style]
I been holdin’ tears that don’t nobody see (nobody)
Act like I’m good, but it’s heavy on me (heavy)
They don’t understand what I carry inside
Smilin’ through hurt just to stay alive
I gave too much, now I feel empty (empty)
Trust got broken, now it don’t tempt me (nah)
Every “I love you” don’t mean what it used to (used to)
Now I question everything I been through
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – building emotion]
I try to heal, but it comes in waves (waves)
Some nights I’m good, some nights I cave (I cave)
And I don’t even know who to blame (who?)
When my own heart feel like a flame
⸻

[Verse 2 – Hip-Hop/R&B blend, more direct]
Yeah… look
I learned that love can turn into trauma quick (quick)
One heartbreak later, now I don’t trust the mix (nah)
Everybody smile but they really switch (switch)
So I protect my heart like it’s made of bricks
I been down bad, had to rebuild me (me)
No more fake love tryna heal me (nope)
If you ain’t solid, don’t come near me (near me)
‘Cause my pain loud and it’s clearly
⸻
[Bridge – vulnerable, slow]
Sometimes I sit in the dark and just breathe…
Tryna let go of the weight on me…
But it don’t leave… no it don’t leave…
Pain stays loaded inside of me…

[Final Hook – bigger emotion]

[Outro – soft, fading]
Yeah…
I’m still here…
but I feel it…
still loaded… still loaded…
