[Turning Point] Holding my breath Release the catch And I let the bullet fly [Coda] (freely; letters not capitalized indicate single notes only) All turned quiet - I have been here before (triplets) A lonely boy hiding behind the front door Friends have all gone home There’s my toy gun on the floor Come back Mum and Dad You’re growing apart You know that I’m growing up sad I need some attention I shoot into the light
