What are the lyrics for 45 by Shinedown?

Answer 1

The lyrics to Shinedown's .45 are as follows:

Send away for a priceless gift

One not subtle, one not on the list

And send away for a perfect world

One not simply so absurd

Cause in these times of doing what you're told

You keep these feelings, no one knows

Whatever happened to the young man's heart

It's swallowed by pain

As he slowly fell apart

Chorus

And I'm staring down the barrell of a .45

I'm swimming through the ashes of another life

There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed

I'm staring down the barrell of a .45

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for awhile

Cause in a box high up on a shelf

It's left for you, and no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle knows as life

It's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight

Whatever happened to the young man's heart

It's swallowed by pain

As he slowly fell apart

Chorus

Cause everyone's pointing their fingers

They're always condemning me

Well, no one knows what I believe

What I believe

Chorus
