Shoot Me Down

I'm waiting for an excuse,
But is it worth it,
To watch you plead
While I sit and wait,
For you to be done?

I'd rather be shot down.

It's like waiting for dogs to meow,
Or for cats to bark,
It will never happen,
It will be an excuse,
Not the truth.

I'd rather be shot down.

It's a wait that won't end well,
And it won't be worth it,
But all must be accepted,
It won't be forgotten,
But it will end for now.

But,
I'd rather be shot down.

For now,
Shoot me down gently,
I know you know the difference,
Between shot and shoot,
And that's the only truth that I can get from you.

But,
Still,
I'd rather be shot down.

So get on with it already.
