Cannonball Lyrics - Brandi Carlile

I was born when I met you 

Now I'm dying to forget you 

And that is what I know 

Though I dreamed I would fall 

Like a wounded cannonball 

Sinking down with my heart in tow 

Bright lights like white lightning 

Who shot me down 

Who will cut me down 

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around 

How I'm lost 

How I'm found

There's a man all alone 

Telling me his friends are gone 

That they've died and flown away 

So I told him he was wrong 

That your friends are never gone 

If you look to the sky and pray 

Bright lights like white lightning 

Who shot me down 

Who will cut me down 

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around 

How I'm lost 

How I'm found 

Someone told me a lie 

Someone looked me in the eye 

And said time will ease your pain 

But behold, when you fall 

It's that same old cannonball 

Coming back for your heart again

Bright lights like white lightning 

Who shot me down 

Who will cut me down 

I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around 

And it may come around 

Until the day comes around 

How I'm lost 

How I'm found 

I was born when I met you 

Now I'm dying to forget you 

And that is what I know
