lyrics

Don't worry, this kind of thing happens all the time,
falling out of love is not a crime,
she's not the person that you thought she'd be,
so you bought a burner and called me,

quick and painless problem solver,
no manhunt, no helicopter,
no trail back to your good name,
just a one-way ticket back to from where she came,

but there's one problem with this target, if I don't break this contract i'll be broken hearted, I knew I was in love when I first got an eyeful,
down the barrel of my sniper rifle,

I don't wanna take her out, I just wanna take her home,
(you) didn't have to put a hit on her, I would've hit on her on my own,
I can't be on her mind if I blow it out of her skull,
I must be too late cuz she's already an angel

but there's one problem with this target, if I don't break this contract i'll be broken hearted, I knew I was in love when I first got an eyeful,
down the barrel of my sniper rifle,

I don't wanna take her out, I just wanna take her home,
(you) didn't have to put a hit on her, I would've hit on her on my own,
I can't be on her mind if I blow it out of her skull,
I must be too late cuz she's already an angel
