He Just Got In the Way

I did not mean to hurt him,

He just got in the way.

I did what I needed to,

He just got in the way.

I pulled my miniature cannon out of my coat,

He just got in the way.

I pulled the trigger,

He just got in the way

I heard the sonic boom,

He just got in the way.

I stood in pools of wet fire,

He just got in the way.

It was not my fault.

It was not my fault…

I did not mean to hurt him,

He just got in the way.
