The Knife Or The Hatchet

(album: Pelago - 2021)

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 do you, too
The difference is I don't wanna live like this
And baby if you do

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 hope you stay
But if you leave
Anything's better than you and me living in the in-between

Honestly
We could use a little honesty
And I'd rather hear the truth than anything you think I'd wanna hear
So promise me you'll

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

Don't wanna stay together just to drift apart
Don't wanna live forever with a broken heart
Now or never baby right here in the dark

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
