[Verse 1]
I can't sleep
You can't either
But I'm pretty sure the answer that we're looking for
Ain't written on the ceiling
I know what's wrong
And you do, too
The difference is I don't wanna live like this
And baby if you do
[Chorus]
Say the word
And don't look back
Make it hurt

But staying broken ain't something I can do anymore

Or bury the hatchet

Don't wanna stay together just to drift apart
Don't wanna live forever with a broken heart

[Chorus]
Just say the word
And don't look back
Make it hurt
You owe me that
Say what's been unspoken
Or break up
But staying broken ain't something I can do anymore
So all I ask is
Twist the knife
Or bury the hatchet

I love how visual the song is. Even the first verse talking about two people staring at the ceiling, you can picture that like it’s a movie. Once we figured out the angle, ‘Twist the knife or bury the hatchet,’ the whole rest of the song kind of writes itself. You know the entire story from just tha...
