Guns And People

That night I waited too long
For someone who wouldn’t come
Who would’ve made it home to me
I went for a walk in the street
Empty eyes and shady faces (shady faces)
People hustling and people wandering (people wandering)
And I just found that in their places
The streets were not that frightening, no
Guns don’t kill people
People kill people
I said
Guns don’t kill people
People kill people
I said
I left it all, went to the mall
That led me to a noisy cafe
And there she was, between two cups
Sweet and amazing and lofty
Just one glance and love, it hit me (one love hit me)
Felt like being in a movie (in a movie, yeah)
Was she the one I was waiting for?
A beauty, a blue-eyed killer, yeah
This cruel world is such a mess
I went back home to my loneliness
It was too late, it was too late
To go to sleep
I think I might be tired
And I try, I try to sing
All I remember is that line
Guns don’t kill people
People kill people
I said guns don’t kill people
People kill people
I said guns don’t kill people
People kill people
I said guns don’t kill people
It’s people who kill people
I said
People kill people
