This song is about someone who is cheating in a relationship, and accidentally spills their secret while talking in their sleep.
The song was included on Hey Violet’s ‘I Can Feel It’ ep, their first release as a foursome.
[Verse 1]
The first time I met you
I knew you would be trouble
You turn my world to rubble, baby
While you were sleeping
I swear I heard you mumble
So how’d you get her number, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled the trigger
You dug the grave
[Chorus]
All bets off once the gun goes off
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
Washed my hands of your bloodstained love
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
[Post-Chorus]
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
[Verse 2]
If you wanted out
You know you could’ve called me
I really would’ve listened baby
But now that it’s over
You know I’m feeling better
You’re looking so pathetic baby
[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled the trigger
This can’t be saved
[Chorus]
All bets off once the gun goes off
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
Washed my hands of your bloodstained love
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
[Post-Chorus]
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
[Bridge]
Love me when you sweet talk
Love her when you sleep walk
[Chorus]
All bets off once the gun goes off
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
Washed my hands of your bloodstained love
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
All bets off once the gun goes off
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
Washed my hands of your bloodstained love
Cause you can’t take back
Take back the bullet
[Post-Chorus]
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
Take back the bullet
